RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles such as
car stereo, safety equipment etc. In addition, some vehicle manufac-
turers 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.

Vehicles equipped with an air bag

An air bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including either
installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in
the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Electronic devices

Most modern electronic equipment, for example equipment in hospitals
and cars, is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment
is not, therefore: Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment
without requesting permission. Mobile phones may affect the operation of
some implanted cardiac pacemakers and other medically implanted
equipment. Pacemaker patients should be aware that the use of a mobile
phone very close to a pacemaker might cause the device to malfunction.
Avoid placing the phone over the pacemaker, i.e. in your breast pocket.
When using the phone, place it at your ear opposite the pacemaker. If a
minimum distance of 6 inches (15 cm) is kept between the phone and the
pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. If you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place, immediately turn off your phone.
