Important safety information

Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may 
interfere with some hearing aids. In the 
event of such interference, you may want 
to consult your service provider.
Other medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting 
equipment, including cellular phones, 
may interfere with the functionality of 
inadequately protected medical devices. 
Consult a physician or the manufacturer 
of the medical device to determine if they 
are adequately shielded from external RF 
energy or if you have any questions. 
Switch off your phone in health care 
facilities when any regulations posted in 
these areas instruct you to do so. 
Hospitals or health care 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 (e.g. 
electronic fuel injection systems, 
electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking 
systems, electronic speed control 
systems, air bag systems). 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
Switch your phone off in any facility 
where posted notices so require.
■ Potentially explosive 
atmospheres
Switch off your phone 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.
Users are advised to switch off the phone 
when at a refuelling point (service 
station). Users are reminded of the need 
to observe restrictions on the use of radio 
equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage 
and distribution areas), chemical plants 
or where blasting operations are in 
progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive 
atmosphere are often but not always 
clearly marked. They include below deck 
on boats; chemical transfer or storage 
facilities; vehicles using liquified 
petroleum gas (such as propane or 
butane); areas where the air contains 
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust 
or metal powders; and any other area 
where you would normally be advised to 
turn off your vehicle engine.
■ Vehicles
Only qualified personnel should service 
the phone, or install the phone in a 
vehicle. Faulty installation or service may 
be dangerous and may invalidate any 
warranty which may apply to the unit.
Check regularly that all wireless phone 
equipment in your vehicle is mounted 
and operating properly.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, 
gases or explosive materials in the same 
compartment as the phone, its parts or 
accessories.
