16.7 Precautions for electronic devices
Some electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interferences from mobile phones if
inadequately shielded, such as the electronic system of vehicles; consult the manufacturers of devices
before using the phone, if necessary.
16.8 Precautions for use in potentially explosive atmospheres
ƒ Switch off your phone prior to entering any area with potentially explosive atmospheres, such as
fuelling areas, or fuel or chemical storage or transfer facilities. Do not remove, install, or charge
batteries in such areas.
ƒ Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily harm
or death. To avoid possible interference with detonators, switch off your phone when you are near
electric blasting caps, a blasting area, or in areas where "Turn off electronic devices" is posted.
Always obey signs and instructions.
16.9 Safety and general use in vehicles
ƒ The safety airbag, brakes, speed control system and injection system should not be affected by
wireless transmission. If you encounter problems with the elements above, contact your car dealer.
ƒ Do not place your phone in the area over an airbag or in the airbag deployment area. Airbags inflate
with a force that is proportional to the intensity of the collision. If a phone is placed in the airbag
deployment area and the airbag inflates, the phone can be forcefully propelled and cause serious
injury to occupants of the vehicle.
ƒ Switch off your mobile phone in service stations.
16.10 Aircraft safety
Wireless devices can cause interference in aircraft. Using a mobile phone in flight is illegal and risky.
Please make sure that your mobile phone is powered off in flight.
ƒ Please turn off your mobile phone before the airplane takes off. In order to protect the airplane
communication system from interference, it is forbidden to use mobile phones during flight.
ƒ Safety regulations require permission from a crew member for the use of phones while the plane
is on the ground.
ƒ If your mobile phone has the automatic power-on function, please ensure that it is turned off before
the flight.
16.11 Battery use
ƒ Do not short-circuit the battery as this can cause the device to overheat or ignite.
ƒ Do not store the battery in hot areas or throw it in a fire as this might cause an explosion.
ƒ Do not try to disassemble or reassemble the battery as this might cause fluid leakage, overheating,
explosion or igniting of the battery.
ƒ Store the battery in a cool dry place if you do not use it for long periods. The battery can be
recharged hundreds of times, but it is subject to normal wearing. When the operating time (talking
time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to replace it.
ƒ Stop using the battery if it is damaged or show obvious signs of aging. Use only original battery or a
battery approved by the manufacturer. Using any unauthorized battery can affect the performance
of your device or cause a risk of explosion, etc.
ƒ Keep the battery out of reach of children.
