recommended limits for exposure to RF fields from handheld mobile
telephones. According to ICNIRP statement, which is based on the
available body of research, there is no evidence that mobile terminals
meeting the recommended limits can cause any adverse health effects. All
Ericsson telephones conform to the ICNIRP guidelines and other
international exposure standards, such as:
• CENELEC European Pre-standard ENV50166-2:1995 (Europe)
• ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 (USA, Asia-Pacific)
• AS2772.1 – 1990/NZS 6609.1:1990, Amdt. No.1 (Australia, New
Zealand)
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the areas
where you drive. If you are going to use your phone while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving.
• Use an Ericsson Vehicle Handsfree Solution, if available. Law in
many countries requires vehicle Handsfree Solution. Read the
installation instructions carefully before installing a vehicle Handsfree
Solution.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles such as
car stereo, safety equipment etc. In addition, some vehicle manufacturers
do not allow use of mobile phones, unless the installation is supported by
a handsfree kit with an external antenna, in their vehicles. Check with
your vehicle manufacturer's representative to be sure that your mobile
phone will not affect the electronic systems in your vehicle.
Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including either
installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in
the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment, for example equipment in hospitals
and cars, is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic
equipment is not, therefore:
Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without
requesting permission.
Mobile phones may affect the operation of some implanted cardiac
pacemakers and other medically implanted equipment. Pacemaker
patients should be aware that the use of a mobile phone very close to a
pacemaker might cause the device to malfunction. Avoid placing the
phone over the pacemaker, i.e. in your breast pocket. When using the
phone, place it at your ear opposite the pacemaker. If a minimum distance
of 15 cm is kept between the phone and the pacemaker, the risk of
interference is limited. If you have any reason to suspect that interference
is taking place, immediately turn off your phone. Contact your
cardiologist for more information.
Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile phones. In the event of
such disturbance, you may want to consult your service provider, or call
the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Aircraft
• Turn off your mobile phone before boarding any aircraft.
• Do not use it on the ground without crew permission.
To prevent interference with communication systems, you must not use
your mobile phone while the plane is in the air.
Blasting Areas
Turn off your mobile phone when in a blasting area or in areas posted
“turn off two-way radio” to avoid interfering with blasting operations.
Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off
explosives.
