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 or when any posted regulations
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. These could include electronic
fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems,
electronic speed control systems, or 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 if you are 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.

You are advised to switch off the phone while at a refueling point (service
station). You 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. These areas include the following: below deck on boats;
chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum
