Important safety information
Pacemaker
Mobile phones may affect the
operation of some implanted cardiac
pacemakers and other medically
implanted equipment. Pacemaker
manufacturers recommend that a
minimum separation of 20 cm (6
inches) be maintained between
a hand-held wireless phone and
a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are
consistent with independent
research by the Wireless
Technology Research Association.
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
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.
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
