Safety Information

9 10
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 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 pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or
when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing
device and the distance from the interference source,
increasing the separation between them may reduce
the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Medical devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to
determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the
operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so
in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests
are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive
medical equipment.
Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed
to do so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on
board the aircraft, if your device offers a ‘flight mode’ this
must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
Interference in cars
Please note that because of possible interference to
electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid
the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a handsfree
kit with an external antenna is included in the installation.
Explosive environments
Petrol stations and explosive atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all
posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone
or other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling
areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Blasting Caps and Areas
Turn off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a
blasting area or in areas posted turn off “two-way radios”
or “electronic devices” to avoid interfering with blasting
operations.
Disposal and Recycling
To dispose of or recycle your device in a safe and appropriate
manner, contact your Customer Services center for
information.
Protection against theft
(1)
Your telephone is identified by an IMEI (phone serial number)
shown on the packaging label and in the product’s memory.
We recommend that you note the number the first time you
use your telephone by entering *#06# and keep it in a safe
place. It may be requested by the police or your operator if
your telephone is stolen. This number allows your mobile
telephone to be blocked preventing a third person from using
it, even with a different SIM card.
This symbol on your telephone, the battery
and the accessories means that these products
must be taken to collection points at the end
of their life:
- Municipal waste disposal centers with specific bins for these
items of equipment.
- Collection bins at points of sale.
They will then be recycled, preventing substances being
disposed of in the environment, so that their components
can be reused.
