Important Safety Information
Aircraft
Switch off your mobile phone when boarding an aircraft or
whenever you are instructed to do so by airline staff. If your
mobile phone offers a 'flight mode' or similar feature consult
airline staff as to whether it can be used on board.
Driving
Full attention should be given to driving at all times and local
laws and regulations restricting the use of mobile phones while
driving must be observed.
Hospitals
Mobile phones should be switched off wherever you are
requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities.
These requests are designed to prevent possible interference
with sensitive medical equipment.
Petrol Stations
Obey all posted signs with respect to the use of mobile phones
or other radio equipment in locations with flammable material
and chemicals. Switch off your mobile phone whenever you are
instructed to do so by authorized staff.
Interference
Care must be taken when using the mobile phone in close
proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and
hearing aids.
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 mobile phone on the opposite ear to
your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
Some mobile 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.
Other Medical Devices
Please consult your physician and the device manufacturer to
determine if operation of your mobile phone may interfere with
the operation of your medical device.
