Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates 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.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Most modern electronic equipment, for example equipment
in hospitals and cars, is shielded from RF energy.
However, certain electronic equipment is not, therefore:
• Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment
without requesting permission.
Mobile phones may affect the operation of some implanted
cardiac pacemakers and other medically implanted
equipment. Pacemaker patients should be aware that the
use of a mobile phone very close to a pacemaker might
cause the device to malfunction. Avoid placing the mobile
phone over the pacemaker, e.g. in your breast pocket.
When using the mobile phone, place it at the ear opposite
the pacemaker. If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6’’ inches)
is kept between the mobile phone and the pacemaker,
the risk of interference is limited. If you have any reason
to suspect that interference is taking place, immediately
turn off your mobile phone. Contact your cardiologist for
more information.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult
the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is
adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Turn your mobile phone off in any facility where posted
notices so require.
AIRCRAFT
• Turn off your mobile phone before boarding any aircraft.
• To prevent interference with communication systems,
you must not use your mobile phone while the plane
is in the air.
• Do not use it on the ground without permission from
the crew.
BLASTING AREAS
• Turn off your mobile phone when in a blasting area or in
areas posted “turn off two-way radio” to avoid interfering
with blasting operations. Construction crews often use
remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn off your mobile phone when in any area with
a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your
mobile phone or its accessories could generate sparks.
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
fuelling areas, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical
