Additional safety information
● Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of their implanted
medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an
implanted medical device, consult your health care provider.
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 antiskid (antilock) 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
device 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
refuelling points such as near gas pumps at service stations. Observe
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, 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
