AIRCRAFT
FCC and Transport Canada Regulations prohibit using your phone while
in the air. Turn your phone OFF 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 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’s engine.

SAFETY AND WARRANTY
PACEMAKERS
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent
with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers :
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from your pacemaker
when the phone is turned on.
• Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn your phone OFF immediately.
OTHER MEDICAL DEVICES
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in
obtaining this information. Turn your phone OFF in healthcare facilities
when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or healthcare facilities may be using equipment that could be
sensitive to external RF energy.
POSTED FACILITIES
Turn your phone OFF where posted notices so require.
