Other Medical Devices; Potentially Explosive Atmospheres - Nokia 1220 User Manual

Reference information
HEARING AIDS
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may want to consult your service provider.

Other medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular phones, may
interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult
a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any questions. Switch
off your phone 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 (for example, electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid/
antilock braking systems, electronic speed control systems, air bag systems). 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 so require.

Potentially explosive atmospheres

Switch off your phone 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 off the phone when at a refuelling 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.
Vehicles
Only qualified personnel should service the phone or install the phone in a vehicle.
Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty
which may apply to the unit.
