off your device 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 transmissions.
Pacemakers. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of
15.3 centimeters (6 inches) be maintained between wireless devices and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers
should do the following:
• Always keep the device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from the
pacemaker
•
Not carry the device near your pacemaker when the device is switched on.
If you suspect interference, switch off your device, and move it.
Hearing aids. Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. If
interference occurs, consult your service provider.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-
skid (anti-lock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems, and air bag
systems. For more information, check with the manufacturer, or its representative,
of your vehicle or any equipment that has been added. Only qualified personnel
should service the device, or install the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or
service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty that may apply to the
device. Check regularly that all wireless 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 device, its parts, or enhancements. For
vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that air bags inflate with great force.
Do not place objects, including 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. Using
your device while flying in aircraft is prohibited. Switch off your device before
boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless teledevices in an aircraft may be
dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network,
and may be illegal.

Potentially explosive environments

Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere
and obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres include
areas where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Sparks
in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death. Switch off the device at refueling points such as near gas pumps at service
stations. Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage,
