Don’t put your phone in the area over an airbag or where it could be
deployed. An airbag inflates with great force and serious injury could
result if you place your phone – or any other object, such as hands-
free equipment – over it.

When your phone is switched on, keep it more than eight inches
(20cm+) from a pacemaker. If you have a pacemaker, don’t carry the
phone in your breast pocket. Also, use your ear furthest from the
pacemaker to minimise the potential for interference. If you
experience any problems at all, switch off the phone immediately.
Some people are susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when
exposed to flashing lights. For example, when watching television or
playing video games. If you’ve ever had seizures or blackouts, or if
you have a family history of them, please consult your doctor before
playing video games on your phone or using any feature that involves
flashing lights.
Hearing aids can be affected by phones. If that’s happening to you,
consult the hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
