Electro-magnetic fields are suspected of being harmful to human health.
When using the pager and a medical device (e.g. pacemaker or hearing aid) at the same time,

belt-worn, not pocket-worn. Whenever the medical device is affected by the pager, turn the pager
off at once.
Prior to any usage of the pager inside a vehicle, the safety instructions of the vehicle have to be
checked. Never operate the pager while driving a vehicle.
