OTHER SAFETY GUIDELINES
AIRCRAFT
FCC and Transport Canada Regulations prohibit using your phone
while in the air. Turn your phone OFF before boarding an aircraft.
BLASTING AREAS
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF
when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way
radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn 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.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas
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 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’s engine.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES
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.
PACEMAKERS
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by and recommendations
of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers :
OTHER MEDICAL DEVICES
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in healthcare facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or healthcare
facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.

• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from your
pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
• Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
