Operation
of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones,
may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected
medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of
the medical device to determine if they are adequately shielded
from external RF energy, or if you have any questions.
Switch off your device in health care facilities where any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health
care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive
to external RF energy.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend
that a minimum separation of 6 in. (15.3 cm) be maintained between
a wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with
the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers should:
always
keep the device more than 6 in. (15.3 cm) from their pacemaker
when the device is switched on.
not carry the device in a breast pocket.
hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize
the potential for interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, switch off your device immediately.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may
interfere with some hearing aids. If interference occurs,
consult your service provider.
For safety reasons, the Nokia 7270 phone should be switched
off anywhere there is a sign, including:
• hospitals
• aircraft
• when refuelling
• near blasting
