Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
•
Do not use your mobile phone near
medical equipment without requesting
permission. Avoid placing the phone
over pacemakers, for example, in your
breast pocket.
•
Some hearing aids might be disturbed
by mobile phones.
•
Minor interference may affect TVs,
radios, PCs etc.
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.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device when
requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or
health care facilities. These requests are
designed to prevent possible interference
with sensitive medical equipment.

Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on the
use of mobile phones in the area when
you drive.
•
Do not use a hand-held phone while
driving.
•
Give full attention to driving.
•
Pull off the road and park before making
or answering a call if driving conditions
so require.
•
RF energy may affect some electronic
systems in your vehicle such as car
stereos and safety equipment.
•
When your vehicle is equipped with an
air bag, do not obstruct with installed
or portable wireless equipment.
It can cause the air bag to fail or
cause serious injury due to improper
performance.

If you are listening to music whilst
out and about, please ensure that the
volume is at a reasonable level so that
you are aware of your surroundings.
This is of particular importance when
near roads.
