Hearing aids

Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing 

aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to 

consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Other medical devices 

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the 

manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately 

shielded from external RF energy. Consult your physician to 

determine compatibility with your medical device.

Do not use your device in health care facilities when any 

regulations posted in these areas instruct you not to do so. 

Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that 

could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Aircraft

Airline regulations prohibit using Iridium GO! while in the air. 

Check and comply with the policy of your airline regarding the 

use of your device while the aircraft is on the ground. Leave 

Iridium GO! OFF when boarding an aircraft.

Appareils auditifs

Certains téléphones sans fil numériques peuvent nuire au 

bon fonctionnement de certains appareils auditifs. En cas 

d’interférence, veuillez vous renseigner auprès du fabricant de 

votre appareil auditif pour connaître les solutions de rechange 

possibles.

Autres appareils médicaux 

Si vous utilisez un autre appareil médical personnel, contactez 

le fabricant de votre appareil pour vérifier s’il est équipé d’un 

système antibrouillage de l’énergie HF externe. Votre médecin 

pourra vous aider à déterminer la compatibilité avec votre 

appareil médical.

Mettez votre appareil hors tension dans les centres de soins de 

santé lorsque le règlement vous y invite. Les hôpitaux ou les 

centres de soins de santé utilisent parfois du matériel sensible 

aux signaux radioélectriques externes.

Avions

Le règlement des compagnies aériennes vous interdit d’utiliser 

votre appareil Iridium GO! en vol. Vérifiez auprès de votre 

compagnie aérienne si elle autorise ou non l’utilisation de 

votre appareil lorsque l’avion est au sol et conformez-vous à 

ces dispositions. Laissez l’appareil Iridium GO! hors tension au 

moment de monter à bord d’un avion.
