Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles, is
shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy may affect some malfunctioning
or improperly shielded electronic equipment.
Vehicle Electronic Equipment
Check with your vehicle manufacturer's representative to determine if any on
board electronic equipment is adequately shielded from RF energy.
Medical Electronic Equipment
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as
pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded
from external RF energy.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in
the area instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
RF monitoring equipment.
Aircraft
Turn your phone OFF before boarding any aircraft.
•
Use it on the ground only with crew permission.
•
Do not use in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew
member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent
interference with cellular systems, local RF regulations prohibit using your
phone whilst airborne.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your phone. It is not a toy. Children could
hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the
antenna, for example). Children could damage the phone, or make calls that
increase your telephone bills.

Safety
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a
"blasting area" or in areas posted: "turn off two-way radio". Construction
crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. 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 decks
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.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives, in the
compartment of your vehicle which contains your phone or accessories.
Before using your phone in a vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas
(such as propane or butane) ensure that the vehicle complies with the relevant
fire and safety regulations of the country in which the vehicle is to be used.
