Medical Devices; Potentially Explosive Atmospheres - Sony CM-B1200 Operating Instructions Manual

Medical devices

Consult the manufacturer of any
personal medical devices (such as
pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) 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 health
care facilities when regulations
posted in the areas instruct you to
do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment
that could be sensitive to external
RF energy.
Aircraft
Turn your phone OFF before
boarding any aircraft.
• Use it on the ground only with
crew permission.
• Do not use in the air.
To prevent possible interference
with aircraft systems, U.S. Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA)
regulations require you to have
permission from a crew member to
use your phone while the plane is
on the ground. To prevent
interference with aircraft
communication systems, FCC
regulations prohibit using your
phone while the plane is in the air.

Children
Do not allow children to play with
your phone. It is not a toy.
Children could hurt themselves or
others (by poking themselves or
others in the eye with the antenna,
for example). Children also could
damage the phone or make calls
that increase your telephone bill.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting
operations, turn your unit OFF
when in a "blasting area" or in
areas posted: "Turn off two-way
radio." Construction crews often
use remote control RF devices to
set off explosives.
Potentially explosive
atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any
area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. It is rare, but your
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 fueling areas such as gas
stations; below deck on boats; fuel
or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; 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.
