7.5 Pacemaker Pacemaker manufacturers recommend a distance of at least 15 cm. between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid the risk of interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are in accordance with independent research and recommendations from Wireless Technology Research. People with pacemakers should: • Not carry the unit in a breast pocket • Hold the unit against the ear on the opposite side from the pacemaker to reduce the risk of interference. If you suspect that there is a risk of interference, turn off the unit and move it further away. 7.6 Hearing aids Some digital wireless units can cause interference to some hearing aids. 7.7 Vehicles Radio signals can affect electronic systems in motor vehicles (e.g. electronic fuel injection, ABS brakes, automatic cruise control, air bag systems) that have been incorrectly installed or are inadequately protected. Contact the manufacturer or its representative for more information about your vehicle or any additional equipment.For vehicles equipped with air bags: remember that air bags fill with air with considerable force. Do not place objects, including fixed or portable radio equipment in the area above the airbag or the area where it might expand. Serious injuries may be caused if the mobile phone equipment is incorrectly installed and the airbag fills with air. 17
