Potentially Explosive Atmospheres - Nokia 3310 User Manual

Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere
with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may want to
consult your service provider.
Other medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting
equipment, including cellular phones, may
interfere with the functionality of
inadequately protected medical devices.
Consult a physician or the manufacturer of
the medical device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF
energy or if you have any questions.
Switch off your phone 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 (e.g. electronic
fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid
(anti-lock) braking systems, electronic
speed control systems, air bag systems).
Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehicle. You
should also consult the manufacturer of
any equipment that has been added to
your vehicle.
Posted facilities
Switch your phone off in any facility where
posted notices so require.
Important safety information
Potentially explosive
atmospheres
Switch off your phone 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 off the phone
when at a refuelling 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 liquified
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 engine.
Vehicles
Only qualified personnel should service the
phone, or install the phone in a vehicle.
Faulty installation or service may be
dangerous and may invalidate any
warranty which may apply to the unit.
Check regularly that all wireless phone
equipment in your vehicle is mounted and
operating properly.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids,
gases or explosive materials in the same
compartment as the phone, its parts or
accessories.
