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.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing
aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
NOTE : Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can
cause hearing loss.
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels
for long periods.
