Aircraft
• Turn off your mobile phone before boarding any aircraft.
• Do not use it on the ground without crew permission.
To prevent interference with communication systems, you must
not use your mobile phone while the plane is in the air.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Switch off your phone when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. It is
rare, but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks.
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 fuelling areas, such as petrol stations, below deck on
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and 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.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in
the areas where you drive. If you are going to use your phone
while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving.
• Use handsfree. Law in many countries requires vehicle
handsfree.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles
such as car stereo, safety equipment etc. in addition, some
vehicle manufacturers do not allow use of mobile phones, unless
the installation is supported by a handsfree kit with an external
antenna, in their vehicles. Check with your vehicle
manufacturer's representative to be sure that your mobile phone
will not affect the electronic systems in your vehicle.
