Hearing aids
Some digital mobiles may interfere with some hearing aids.
In the event of such interference, call Customer Service to
discuss alternatives.
Other medical devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your mobile
off
in healthcare facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or healthcare facilities may be using equipment
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
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
Turn your mobile
off
where posted notices so require.

Other safety guidelines
Aircraft
Regulations prohibit using your mobile while in the air.
Switch
off
your mobile before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your
mobile
off
when in a 'blasting area' or in areas posted:
'Turn off two-way radio.' Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn your mobile
off
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.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often,
but not always, clearly marked. They include fuelling areas
such as petrol stations; below deck on boats; fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas
where the air contains chemicals or articles, such as grain,
dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle's engine.
