Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment 
may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone, therefore :
• Do not use your phone near medical equipment without requesting permission.

the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area

Please follow special regulations in any areas wherever it is applicable. It is recommended to switch off 
your phone whenever it is illegal to use, or when it may cause interferences, such as in hospitals.
