Important safety information

Pacemaker

Mobile phones may affect the

operation of some implanted cardiac

pacemakers and other medically

implanted equipment. Pacemaker

manufacturers recommend that a

minimum separation of 20 cm (6

inches) be maintained between

a hand-held wireless phone and

a pacemaker to avoid potential

interference with the pacemaker.

These recommendations are

consistent with independent

research by the Wireless

Technology Research Association.
Persons with pacemakers:

Should always keep the phone

more than 20 cm (6 inches) from

their pacemaker when the phone

is switched on.

Should not carry the phone in a

breast pocket.

Should use the ear opposite

the pacemaker to minimize the

potential for interference.

If you have any reason to

suspect that interference is

taking place, switch off your

phone immediately.

Hearing aids

Some hearing aids might be

disturbed by mobile phones. In

the event of such disturbance, you

may want to consult your service

provider, or call the customer

service line to discuss alternatives.

Aircraft

Turn off your mobile phone

before boarding any aircraft.

Do not use it on the ground

without crew permission.

To prevent interference with

communication systems, you must

not use your mobile phone while the

plane is in the air.

Potentially explosive

atmospheres

Switch off your phone 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 bodily injury or

even death. Areas with a potentially
