require wireless devices to be turned off while traveling in an
airplane. IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth communication devices are
examples of devices that provide wireless communication.
Warning
In environments where the risk of interference to other
devices or services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to
use a wireless device may be restricted or eliminated. Airports,
hospitals, and oxygen or flammable gas laden atmospheres are
limited examples where use of wireless devices may be restricted or
eliminated. When in environments where you are uncertain of the
sanction to use wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for
authorization prior to using or turning on the wireless device.
