If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn off
your phone immediately.
Hearing Aids—
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with hearing aids.
In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service
provider or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices— If you use any other personal medical device,
consult the manufacturer of the device to determine if it is adequately shielded
from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to help you obtain this
information.
In Health Care Facilities—
Turn your phone off in health care facilities when
instructed. Hospitals and health care facilities may be using equipment that is
sensitive to external RF energy.
Avoiding Potentially Unsafe Areas
Posted Facilities— Turn your phone off in any facility when posted notices
require you to do so.
Aircraft— FCC regulations prohibit using your phone on a plane that is in the
air. Turn your phone off before boarding aircraft.
Vehicles— RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or
its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Blasting Areas— To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your
phone off when you are in a blasting area or in areas posted “Turn off two-way
radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres— Turn your phone off when you are in
any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and
instructions. 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
■
Fueling areas such as gas stations
■
Below deck on boats
■
Transfer or storage facilities for fuel or chemicals
■
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, such as propane or butane
■
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or
metal powders
■
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine
