If you have any reason to suspect that interference
is taking place, switch off your phone
immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some wireless phones may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you
should consult your service provider.
Medical Equipment
Operation of wireless phones may interfere with
inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a
physician or the manufacturer of the medical device
to determine if it is adequately shielded from external
RF energy. Switch off your phone in hospitals and
other health care facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to do so, as
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
energy may be in operation.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles (e.g. electronic fuel injection systems,
electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems,
electronic speed control systems, air bag systems).
Check with the supplier or its representative
regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the
supplier of any equipment that has been added to
your vehicle.
Do not place your phone or any accessories in the
area over an airbag or in the airbag’s deployment
area. An airbag inflates with great force, and serious
injury could occur.
Using your phone in a vehicle demands special
considerations. The fitting of any accessories to a
vehicle should only be undertaken by a suitably
qualified person to ensure that vehicle systems are
not adversely affected, and that the accessory gives
optimum performance.
Only qualified personnel should service the phone,
or install the phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or
service may be dangerous and may invalidate any
warranty that may apply to the unit.
Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in
your vehicle is mounted and operating properly.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or
explosive materials in the same compartment as the
phone, its parts or accessories.
Switch off your phone before boarding a non-
commercial aircraft or when instructed to do so on a
commercial airline. The use of wireless telephones in
an aircraft may interfere with the operation of the
aircraft and may be illegal.
Posted Areas
Switch off your phone in any area where posted
notices so require.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch off your phone and do not remove its battery
when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions. It is
rare, but your phone or its accessories could
generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause
an explosion or fire resulting in property damage,
bodily injury or even death. Areas with potentially
explosive atmospheres are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include: Fuelling areas, such as
petrol stations, below deck on boats, and fuel or
chemical transfer and storage facilities. Follow these
guidelines also when you enter areas where fuel
odors are present, such as when a gas leak occurs in
a home; areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders; and
any other area where you would normally be advised
to switch off your vehicle engine.
Switch off your phone when at gas or petrol stations
(service stations). Users are reminded of the need to
observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in
fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas),
chemical plants or where blasting operations are in
progress.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, switch
your phone off when in a “blasting area”or in areas
posted “switch off two-way radio”. Obey all signs
and instructions.
Emergency Calls
IMPORTANT!
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using
radio signals, wireless and landline networks as well
as user-programmed functions that cannot
guarantee connection in all conditions. Do not rely
solely upon your wireless phone for emergency
communications (e.g. medical emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls, the phone
must be switched on and in a service area with
adequate signal strength. Emergency calls may not
be possible on all wireless phone networks or when
