Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external radio frequency
(RF) energy or if you have any other questions concerning this topic.
Switch off your device in health care facilities when signs 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.
Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend that a minimum distance
should be maintained between a wireless device and an implanted
medical device, such as pacemakers or cardioverter defibrillators, to
avoid potential interference with the medical device. Persons who have
such devices should:
• Always keep the wireless device more than 20 centimeters (7.8 inch-
es) from the medical device when the wireless device is turned on.
• Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
• Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device to
minimize the potential for inter-ference.
• Turn the wireless device off immediately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
• Read and follow the directions of the medical device‘s manufacturer.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an
implanted medical device, consult your health care provider.
SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) Compliance
Safety status of Input/Output connections comply with SELV
requirements.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Switch off the device at refuelling points such as near gas pumps at
service stations. Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in
fuel depots, storage, and distribution areas; chemical plants; or where
blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. They include below
deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas, and areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles such as grain dust or metal powders.
Sensitive Electronic Equipment
The current state of research concludes that operational DECT devices
normally do not adversely affect electronic equipment. Nevertheless,
you should take some precautions if you want to operate DECT devices
in the immediate vicinity of such equipment like sensitive laboratory
equipment. Always keep a minimum distance of 10 cm (3.94“) to the
equipment even when the phone is in standby.
