Hearing Aids:
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, consult your Service Provider and hearing aid manufacturer.
Other Medical Devices:
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from 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 be using equipment that could
be sensitive to 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.
Posted Facilities:
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air; switch off your phone before
boarding an aircraft unless otherwise advised by airline personnel.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting
area” or in other areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
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, clearly marked.
They include fueling areas such as gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities; 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; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both installed or
portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.
For U.S. Customers:
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane)
must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58).
