Hearing aids

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

Other medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting
equipment, including cellular
phones, may 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 or if you have any
questions. Switch off your phone 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 energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly
installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles
(e.g. electronic fuel injection
systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-
lock) braking systems, electronic
speed control systems, 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.

Posted facilities

Switch your phone off in any facility
where posted notices so require.
■ Potentially explosive
atmospheres
Switch off your phone when in any
area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
Users are advised to switch off the
phone when at a refuelling point
(service station). Users are reminded
of the need to observe restrictions
on the use of radio equipment in fuel
depots (fuel storage and distribution
areas), chemical plants or where
blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often but not always
clearly marked. They include below
deck on boats; chemical transfer or
storage facilities; vehicles using
liquified petroleum gas (such as
propane or butane); areas where the
air contains chemicals or particles,
such as grain, dust or metal
powders; and any other area where
you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle engine.
