Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult the 
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately 
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to 
assist you in obtaining this information. Switch your 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 vehicles. 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 require 
you to do so.
Potentially Explosive Environments
Switch your 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.
Users are advised to switch the phone off while at a refueling 
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 liquefied 
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.
