Medical devices

Operation of radio transmitting equipment, including
wireless phones, may interfere with the function of
inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician
or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine
whether they are adequately shielded from external RF
energy. Switch off your device when regulations posted
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may
use equipment sensitive to external RF energy.
Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend a minimum
separation of 15.3 centimetres (6 inches) between a wireless
device and an implanted medical device, such as a pacemaker
or implanted cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential
interference with the medical device. Persons who have such
devices should:
● Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3
centimetres (6 inches) from the medical device.
● Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
● Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical
device.
● Turn the wireless device off if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
● Follow the manufacturer directions for the implanted
medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device
with an implanted medical device, consult your health care
provider.

hearing aids.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles such as
electronic fuel injection, electronic antilock braking,
electronic speed control, and air bag systems. For more
information, check with the manufacturer of your vehicle or
its equipment.
Only qualified personnel should service the device or install
the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be
dangerous and may invalidate your warranty. Check regularly
that all wireless device equipment in your vehicle is mounted
and operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable
liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same
compartment as the device, its parts, or accessories.
Remember that air bags inflate with great force. Do not place
your device or accessories in the air bag deployment area.
Switch off your device before boarding an aircraft. The use of
wireless teledevices in an aircraft may be dangerous to the
operation of the aircraft and may be illegal.

Potentially explosive environments

Switch off your device in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Obey all posted instructions. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily
injury or death. Switch off the device at refuelling points such
as near gas pumps at service stations. Observe restrictions in
