Additional information
be sure that your mobile phone will not affect the
electronic systems in your vehicle.
Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects,
including either 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.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Most modern electronic equipment, for example
equipment in hospitals and cars, is shielded from
RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment
is not, therefore:
• Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment
without requesting permission.
Mobile phones may affect the operation of some
implanted cardiac pacemakers and other medically
implanted equipment. Pacemaker patients should be
aware that the use of a mobile phone very close to a
pacemaker might cause the device to malfunction.
Avoid placing the mobile phone over the pacemaker,
e.g. in your breast pocket. When using the mobile phone,
place it at the ear opposite the pacemaker. If a minimum
distance of 15 cm (6” inches) is kept between the mobile
phone and the pacemaker, the risk of interference is
limited. If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, immediately turn off your
mobile phone. Contact your cardiologist for
more information.
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.
Turn your mobile phone off in any facility where posted
notices so require.
AIRCRAFT
• Turn off your mobile phone before boarding any aircraft.
• To prevent interference with communication systems,
you must not use your mobile phone while the plane is in
the air.
• Do not use it on the ground without permission from
the crew.
BLASTING AREAS
• Turn off your mobile phone when in a blasting area or in
areas posted “turn off two-way radio” to avoid interfering
with blasting operations. Construction crews often use
remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
