Tap them on the shoulder.

A gentle tap or a wave in their peripheral vision is the polite, widely accepted way to get a Deaf person's attention. Avoid touching their back or shouting/exaggerating lip movements. Walking into their line of sight and beginning to sign is also fine when you can do so without startling them.
