Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless
devices or when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of
hearing device and the distance from the interference
source, increasing the separation between them may
reduce the interference. You may also consult your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Medical devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer
to determine if operation of your phone may interfere
with the operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so
in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These
requests are designed to prevent possible interference
with sensitive medical equipment.
Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are
instructed to do so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices
on board the aircraft, if your device offers a ‘flight mode’
this must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
Interference in cars
Please note that because of possible interference to
electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers
forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a
handsfree kit with an external antenna is included in the
installation.
