Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including
wireless 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 device 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.
Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend that a
minimum separation of 15.3 centimetres (6 inches) should be
maintained between a wireless device and an implanted
medical device, such as a pacemaker or implanted
cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential interference
with the medical device. Persons who have such devices
should:
•
Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3
centimetres (6 inches) from the medical device when
the wireless device is turned on.
•
Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
•
Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical
device to minimise the potential for interference.
•
Turn the wireless device off immediately if there is any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
•
Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer
of their implanted medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device
with an implanted medical device, consult your health care
provider.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some
hearing aids. If interference occurs, consult your service
provider.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles such as
electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid
(antilock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems,
and air bag systems. For more information, check with the
manufacturer, or its representative, of your vehicle or any
equipment that has been added.
Only qualified personnel should service the device or install
the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be
dangerous and may invalidate any warranty that may apply
to the device. Check regularly that all wireless device
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 device,
its parts, or accessories. For vehicles equipped with an air bag,
remember that air bags inflate with great force. Do not place
objects, including installed or portable wireless equipment in
the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and
the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Using your device while flying in aircraft is prohibited. Switch
off your device before boarding an aircraft. The use of
wireless teledevices in an aircraft may be dangerous to the
operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone
network, and may be illegal.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive atmospheres include areas where you
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting
in bodily injury or even death. Switch off the device at
refuelling points such as near gas pumps at service stations.
Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel
depots, 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 and areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
You should check with the manufacturers of vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) to
determine if this device can be safely used in their vicinity.
Emergency calls
Important:
This device operates using radio signals,
wireless networks, landline networks, and user-programmed
functions. If your device supports voice calls over the internet
(internet calls), activate both the internet calls and the
cellular phone. The device will attempt to make emergency
calls over both the cellular networks and through your
internet call provider if both are activated. Connections in all
conditions cannot be guaranteed. You should never rely
solely on any wireless device for essential communications
like medical emergencies.
To make an emergency call:
1
If the device is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate
signal strength. Depending on your device, you may
also need to complete the following:
•
Insert a SIM card if your device uses one.
•
Remove certain call restrictions you have
activated in your device.
•
Change your profile from offline or flight profile
mode to an active profile.
