Hearing aids

Some digital wireless phones could interfere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you might want to consult your service
provider.

Other medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular phones,
could 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. Also
contact these authorities if you have any questions.
Switch off your phone in health care facilities or where any posted
regulations instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities could
be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals could improperly affect installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. These could include electronic fuel
injection systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems, electronic
speed control systems, or 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.
