Health and safety information

38

Hearing aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some

hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you

may wish to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to

discuss alternatives.

Other medical devices

If you use any other personal medical devices, consult

the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is

adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining

this information.
Switch off your phone in health care facilities when

regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or

inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor

vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its

representative regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer of any

equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted facilities

Switch off your phone in any facility where posted

notices require you to do so.

Potentially explosive environments

Switch off your phone when in any area with a

potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs

and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an

explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised to switch off the phone while at a

refuelling point (service station). 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.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often

but not always clearly marked. They include the areas

below decks on boats, chemical transfer or storage

facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, such

as propane or butane, 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 turn off your vehicle engine.
