Warnings for Use of Wireless Devices
AP-8432 Installation Guide 29
Potentially Hazardous Atmospheres - Fixed Installations
You are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio devices in fuel
depots, chemical plants etc. and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as
grain, dust, or metal powders.
Safety in Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline
staff. If your device offers a 'flight mode' or similar feature, consult airline staff as to its use
in flight.
Safety in Hospitals
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical electrical
equipment. When installed adjacent to other equipment, it is advised to verify that
the adjacent equipment is not adversely affected.
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical electrical
equipment.
Wireless devices should be switched off wherever you are requested to do so in hospitals,
clinics, or healthcare facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference
with sensitive medical equipment.
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical electrical
equipment. When installed adjacent to other equipment, it is advised to verify that the
adjacent equipment is not adversely affected.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommended that a minimum of 15cm (6 inches) be maintained
between a handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with
the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with independent research and
recommendations by Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with Pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the device more than 15cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker
when turned ON.
• Should not carry the device in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear furthest from the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn OFF your
device.
Other Medical Devices
Please consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical device, to determine if
the operation of your wireless product may interfere with the medical device.
