Persons with pacemakers:
• Should always keep the phone more than 20 cm
(6 inches) from their pacemaker when the phone is
switched on;
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, switch off your phone immediately.
Hearing aids
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
services 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.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Switch off your phone when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and
instructions. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories
could generate sparks.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a
potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked.
They include fuelling areas, such as petrol station,
below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities, and areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal
powders.; and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
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 handsfree. Law in many countries requires
vehicle handsfree.
