systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer
or their representative to determine if these systems are
adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check
with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has
been added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices,
such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they
are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and
request permission before using the phone near medical
equipment.
Using Your Phone On Airplanes
On airplanes, follow applicable airline regulations and
always follow the flight crew's instructions concerning the
use of your phone.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your
phone off when in a blasting area or in other areas with
signs indicating two-way radios should be turned off.
Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to
set off explosives.
Turn your phone off when you're in any area that has a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it's rare, your
phone and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks
can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or
even death. These areas 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.
•
Any other area where you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle's engine.
