Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects,
including either 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.
