The important safety bit at the back
• If you are not going to use your phone
for some time, fully charge the battery
and store the phone in a dry place away
from direct sunlight. Your phone should
be switched off during storage. Recharge
every 6 to12 months.
• Never expose your phone to heat or
strong sunlight.
• Never expose your phone to moisture or
liquids of any kind.
• Do not paint your phone or otherwise
block the keypad, microphone or
earpiece function, i.e. with stickers.
14.3 Driving safety
Never use the handheld phones whilst
driving. It is an offence whilst driving to hold
a phone or cradle it in your neck, at any
point during the setup, making or taking of a
phone call, text message or any other data
related mobile communication. Use of fully
installed car kits are still permitted, as are
the use of alternate hands-free accessories.
In the interest of safety, we would
recommend use of a cradle whilst using any
form of hands-free accessory. When driving.
we recommend that you use voicemail
wherever possible, and that you listen to
your messages when you are not in the car.
If you must make a hands-free call when
driving keep it brief.

place objects, including both installed or
portable wireless equipment, in the area

improperly installed and the air bag in

Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers’
Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6”) inches be maintained
between a phone and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent
with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.
If you have a pacemaker:
• Always keep your phone more than six
inches from your pacemaker when it is
turned on.
• Do not carry your phone in a breast
pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimise the potential for interference
• If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, turn your
phone
off immediately.
