Medical Device
• Power off your mobile phone and follow the rules and regulations set forth by
hospitals and health care facilities.
• Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15cm be
maintained between a device and a pacemaker to prevent potential
interference. If you are using a pacemaker, use the device on the opposite side
of the pacemaker and do not carry the device in your front pocket.
• Some mobile phones may affect the performance of hearing aids. Consult your
network provider for more information.
Potentially Explosive Environments
Comply with all signs and instructions. Switch off your device in areas that are
potentially explosive, or where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle’s engine. Using your mobile phone in such areas may trigger sparks, which
could cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injuries or even death.
Do not switch on the device at refueling points such as service stations. Comply
with restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and
distribution areas, and chemical plants. You must adhere to rules in areas where
blasting operations are in progress.
Before using the device, watch out for potentially explosive environments that are
often, though not always, clearly marked. Such locations include below-deck on
boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities and areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Ask the
manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane) if this device can be safely used in their vicinity.
