Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may
interfere with some hearing aids. If
interference occurs, consult your
service provider.
■ Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly
installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles
such as electronic fuel injection
systems, electronic antiskid (antilock)
braking systems, electronic speed
control systems, air bag systems. For
more information, check with the
manufacturer or its representative of
your vehicle or any equipment that has
been added.
Only qualified personnel should service
the device, or install the device in a
vehicle. Faulty installation or service
may be dangerous and may invalidate
any warranty that may apply to the
device. 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 enhancements.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag,
remember that air bags inflate with
great force. Do not place objects,
including 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.
Using your device while flying in
aircraft is prohibited. 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, disrupt the
wireless telephone network, and may
be illegal.
■ Potentially explosive
environments
Switch off your device when in any
area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and
instructions. Potentially explosive
atmospheres include areas where you
would normally be advised to turn off
your vehicle engine. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Switch off the device at refuelling
points such as near gas pumps at
service stations. Observe restrictions
on the use of radio equipment in fuel
depots, 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,
