Safety
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may
interfere with some 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 and Health
Care Facilities
If you use any other personal
medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately
shielded from the external RF
energy. Your physician may be able
to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care
facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you
to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may use equipment that
could be sensitive to the external
RF energy.
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.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your
phone while in the air. Switch OFF
your phone before boarding an
aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting
operations, turn your phone OFF
when in a “blasting area” or in
areas posted: “Turn off two-way
radio”. Obey all signs and
instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn your phone OFF when in any
area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and 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 marked clearly. Potential
areas may include: fueling areas
(such as gasoline stations); below
deck on boats; fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities;
