Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF signals.
Note:
Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission
before using the phone near medical equipment.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible
interference with aircraft systems, ask permission from a crew
member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off
when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating two-
way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use
remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn your phone off when you're in any area that has a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Although it's rare, your phone and
accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or
fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas are often,
but not always, clearly marked. They include:
Fueling areas such as petrol stations.
Below deck on boats.
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as
grain, dust, or metal powders.
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off
your vehicle's engine.
Note:
Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
Restricting Children's Access to Your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they
could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone, or make calls
that increase your telephone bill.
