Traffic Safety
Given that studies show that using a mobile phone while
driving a vehicle constitutes a real risk, even when the hands-
free kit is used (car kit, headset...), drivers are requested
to refrain from using their mobile phone when the vehicle
is not parked. Check the laws and regulations on the use
of wireless mobile phones and their accessories in the
areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these
devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas.
When driving, do not use your mobile phone and headphone
to listen to music or to the radio. Using a headphone can be
dangerous and forbidden in some areas.
When switched on, your mobile phone emits
electromagnetic waves that can interfere with the vehicle’s
electronic systems such as ABS anti-lock brakes or airbags.
To ensure that there is no problem:
• Do not place your mobile phone on top of the
dashboard or within an airbag deployment area,
• Check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to
make sure that the car’s electronic devices are shielded
from mobile phone RF energy.
Conditions of Use
You are advised to switch off the mobile phone from time
to time to optimize its performance.
Remember to abide by local authority rules of mobile
phone use on aircrafts.
Operational Warnings: Obey all posted signs when using
mobile devices in public areas.
Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems:
• Turn off your mobile device in any location where posted
notices instruct you to do so. In an aircraft, turn off your
mobile device whenever instructed to do so by airline
staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane mode or
similar feature, consult airline staff about using it in flight.
• Switch the mobile phone off when you are in health
care facilities, except in designated areas. As with
many other types of equipment now in regular use,
mobile phones can interfere with other electrical or
electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequency.
• Switch the mobile phone off when you are near
gas or flammable liquids. Strictly obey all signs and
instructions posted in a fuel depot, gas station, or
chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive
atmosphere.
• When the mobile phone is switched on, it should be
kept at least 15 cm from any medical device such as a
pacemaker, a hearing aid or insulin pump. In particular
when using the mobile phone you should hold it
against the ear on the opposite side to the device, if any.
Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of
your implantable medical device. If you have any questions
about using your mobile device with your implantable
medical device, consult your healthcare provider.
