Important Safety
Information
AIRCRAFT
Switch off your wireless device when boarding
an aircraft or whenever you are instructed to do
so by airline staff. If your device offers a 'flight
mode' or similar feature consult airline staff as
to whether it can be used on board.
DRIVING
Full attention should be given to driving at all
times and local laws and regulations restricting
the use of wireless devices while driving must
be observed.
HOSPITALS
Mobile phones should be switched off wherever
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.

PETROL STATIONS
Obey all posted signs with respect to the use
of wireless devices or other radio equipment
in locations with flammable material and
chemicals. Switch off your wireless device
whenever you are instructed to do so by
authorized staff.
INTERFERENCE
Care must be taken when using the phone in
close proximity to personal medical devices,
such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum separation of 15cm be maintained
between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
To achieve this use the phone on the opposite
ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a
breast pocket.
