Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
34
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment, for example equipment in hospitals and cars,
is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment is not,
therefore:
•
Do not use your BLIP near medical equipment without requesting
permission.
BLIPs may affect the operation of some hearing aids, implanted cardiac
pacemakers and other medically implanted equipment.
Pacemaker patients should be aware that the use of a BLIP very close to a
pacemaker might cause the device to malfunction. If you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place, immediately turn off your BLIP. Contact
your cardiologist for more information.
Aircraft
•
Turn off your BLIP before boarding any aircraft.
•
To prevent interference with communication systems, you must not use
your BLIP while the plane is in the air.
Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.
Blasting Areas
Turn off your BLIP when in a blasting area or in areas posted "turn off two-way
radio" to avoid interfering with blasting operations. Construction crews often use
remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your BLIP when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is
rare, but your BLIP or its accessories could generate sparks. 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 fuelling areas, such as petrol stations, below deck on boats,
fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the same
compartment of your vehicle that contains your BLIP and accessories.
