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 mobile device 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 before
using your mobile device in a motor vehicle. You
should also consult the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Switch your mobile device off in any facility
where posted notices require you to do so.
Potentially Explosive Environments
Switch your mobile device 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 mobile device 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
