Road Safety
-
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice, anywhere and
anytime. But an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless phones, one that
every user must uphold.
-
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your wireless phone while
driving, follow local regulations in the country or region you are in.
Hearing Aids
-
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may wish to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Potentially Explosive Environments
-
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.
-
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. They
include the areas below decks on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using
liquefied 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.
