Section 18: Health and Safety Information 207
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event
of such interference, you may wish to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, 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. Switch 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
Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices requireyou to do so.
Potentially Explosive Environments
Switch 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.
Users are advised to switch the phone off while at a refueling point (service
station). Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of
radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical
plants or where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly
marked. They include below deck on boats, 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.
