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 hands-free 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.
