when in a “blasting area” or in
areas posted: “Turn off two-way
radio.” Obey all signs and instruc-
tions.
Potentially explosive
atmospheres
Turn you phone OFF 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.
Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often but not
always clearly marked. They
include fueling areas such as gaso-
line stations; below deck on boats;
fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; vehicles using liquefied
petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane); areas where the air con-
tains 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.
For vehicles equipped with
an air bag
An air bag inflates with great force.
DO NOT place objects, including
both installed or portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment
area. If in-vehicle wireless equip-
ment is improperly installed and
the air bag inflates, serious injury
could result.

Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment
is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equip-
ment may not be shielded against
the RF signals from your wireless
phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturer’s
Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6”)
inches be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential inter-
ference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are
consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations
of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone
more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is
turned ON;
• Should not carry the phone in a
breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the
pacemaker to minimize the poten-
tial for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect
that interference is taking place,
turn your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may
interfere with some hearing aids.
In the event of such interference,
you may want to consult your serv-
ice provider.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal
medical device, consult the manu-
facturer of your device to deter-
mine if they are adequately shield-
ed from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you
in obtaining this information.
Turn you phone OFF 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 vehi-
cles. 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 vehi-
cle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility
where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC Regulations prohibit using
your phone while in the air. Switch
OFF your phone before boarding an
aircraft.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting
operations, turn you phone OFF
