Hearing aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or
when one is nearby.
The level of interference depends on the type of the 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 equipment
Switch off your wireless device when 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.
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 and enable flight mode of your phone when
boarding an aircraft.
Interference in vehicles
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 atmosphere
In locations with potentially explosive atmosphere, obey all
posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone or
other radio equipment.
