14. Safety and use
Please read carefully and observe the following regulations to avoid damaging your telephone
or using it against the law.
Electronic devices/Health care facilities.
Turn off your phone when you are near high-precision electronic devices in use to avoid
causing malfunction or interfering with their operation (fire alarms, automatic doors and
automatic control equipment).
Turn off your phone in hospitals or places where the use of mobile phones is restricted.
Mobile phones affect the normal operation of electronic devices and medical instruments,
such as pacemakers, hearing aids and other electronic medical devices.
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that mobile phones are kept at least 15 cm away from
pacemakers to prevent the phone interference. When using the phone, you should hold it
against the ear on the opposite side to the device, to reduce interference.
Mobile phones should be forbidden inside an operating theatre, Intensive Care Unit (ICU) or
Cardiac Care Unit (CCU).
Pay attention to the settings of the sound volume and the vibration to avoid disturbing the
patients.
Flammable or explosive areas
Turn off your phone near flammable or explosive areas. Do not install/remove or charge the
battery or use the phone in these areas to prevent any explosion or fire. Flammable and
explosive areas include: chemical plants, facilities with chemical substances or particles in the
air (grains, dust and metal powder ), petrol stations and fuel depots, fuel storage areas (for
example, under a ship’s deck), areas with explosion warning signs, areas with “turn off
two-way radio equipment” signs and places where you are usually recommended to switch off
car engines.
Safety of use in a vehicle
Please observe the relevant local or national regulations related to the use of mobile phones
in a vehicle. Please refrain from using the phone while driving. If you are driving and need to
use the phone in an emergency, use a hands-free device (optional purchase) to be safe.
Otherwise, park the car before using the phone.
