manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to
your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such
as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Note:
Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent
possible interference with aircraft systems, ask permission from
a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the
ground.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone
off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating
twoway radios should be turned off. Construction crews often
use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn your phone off when you are in any area that has a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it is rare, your
phone and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause
an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death.
These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include:
Fueling areas such as petrol stations.
Below deck on boats.
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as
grain, dust, or metal powders.
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn
off your vehicle's engine.
Note:
Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
