114 Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
• Turn off your phone in health care facilities when regulations posted in
the areas instruct you to do so.
• Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting
permission.
Mobile phones may affect the operation of some implanted cardiac pacemak-
ers, equipment for people with hearing impairments and other medically
implanted equipment. Pacemaker patients should be aware that the use of a
mobile phone very close to a pacemaker might cause the device to malfunc-
tion. Avoid placing the phone over the pacemaker, i.e. in your breast pocket.
When using the phone, place it at the ear opposite your pacemaker. If a mini-
mum distance of 15 cm is kept between the phone and the pacemaker, the risk
of interference is limited. Contact your cardiologist for more information.
• Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft.
• Do not use it on the ground without crew permission.
To prevent interference with aircraft systems, you must not use your phone
while the plane is in the air.
• Connect AC (Power supply) only to designated power sources as marked
on the product.
• Make sure the AC (Power Supply) is dry and clean before you plug it in.
• To reduce risk of damage to the electric cord, remove it from the outlet by
holding onto the AC adapter rather than the cord.
• Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over
or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the unit from any power source
before attempting any cleaning, then use a soft, damp cloth.
Turn off your mobile phone when in a blasting area or in areas posted “turn
off two-way radio” to avoid interfering with blasting operations. Construction
crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive atmos-
phere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury
or even death.
