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
(e.g. electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid
(anti-lock) 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
liquified 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.
Check regularly that all wireless phone 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 phone, its parts or
accessories.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air
bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including
both 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 phone while in the air is prohibited. Switch off
your phone before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless
telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation
of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network and
may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension
or denial of telephone services to the offender, or legal action
or both.
