Safety Information
Aircraft: Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by
airport or airline staff. If your device offers a “flight mode” or similar feature, consult
airline staff as to its use in flight.
Driving: Full attention should be given to driving at all times, and regulations
restricting the use of wireless devices while driving must be observed. For further
driving safety tips, please refer to Driving safety tips at page
58.
Hospitals: Mobile phones should be switched off whenever you are requested to do
so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are designed to
prevent possible interference with sensitive medical instruments.
Gas stations: Obey all posted signs with respect to the use of wireless devices or
other radio equipment in locations with flammable material and chemicals. Switch of
your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by authorized staff.
Interference with personal medical devices: You should always consult your
physician and review the device manufacturer's instructions to determine if operation
of your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device.
As a general rule:
- For pacemakers: Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a mobile phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use
the phone on the opposite ear to your pace maker and do not carry it in a breast
pocket.
-
For hearing aids: Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
The ring tone, info tones, and handsfree talking are reproduced through the
loudspeaker. Do not hold the phone to your ear when it rings or when you have
switched on the handsfree function (at least 3.9 inches (10 cm)).
