Cardiac Care Unit (CCU).
Pay attention to the settings of the sound volume and the vibration to avoid disturbing the
patients.
Flammable or explosive areas
Turn off your phone near flammable or explosive areas. Do not install/remove or charge the
battery or use the phone in these areas to prevent any explosion or fire. Flammable and
explosive areas include: chemical plants, facilities with chemical substances or particles in the
air (grains, dust and metal powder ), petrol stations and fuel depots, fuel storage areas (for
example, under a ship’s deck), areas with explosion warning signs, areas with “turn off
two-way radio equipment” signs and places where you are usually recommended to switch off
car engines.

in a vehicle. Please refrain from using the phone while driving. If you are driving and need to
use the phone in an emergency, use a hands-free device (optional purchase) to be safe.
