medical instruments, such as pacemakers, hearing aids and other electronic
medical devices.
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that mobile phones are kept at least 15
cm away from pacemakers to prevent the phone interference. When using the
phone, you should hold it against the ear on the opposite side to the device, to
reduce interference.
Mobile phones should be forbidden inside an operating theatre, Intensive Care
Unit (ICU) or Cardiac Care Unit (CCU).
Pay attention to the settings of the sound volume and the vibration to avoid
disturbing the patients.
Flammable or explosive areas
Turn off your phone near flammable or explosive areas. Do not install/remove or
charge the battery or use the phone in these areas to prevent any explosion or
fire. Flammable and explosive areas include: chemical plants, facilities with
chemical substances or particles in the air (grains, dust and metal powder ),
petrol stations and fuel depots, fuel storage areas (for example, under a ship‟s
deck), areas with explosion warning signs, areas with "turn off two-way radio
equipment" signs and places where you are usually recommended to switch off
car engines.
Safety of use in a vehicle
Please observe the relevant local or national regulations related to the use of
mobile phones in a vehicle. Please refrain from using the phone while driving. If
you are driving and need to use the phone in an emergency, use a hands-free
device (optional purchase) to be safe. Otherwise, park the car before using the
phone.
Do not place your phone on the dashboard or within an airbag deployment area
to avoid causing injury to passengers in the car when the bag inflates or bursts.
