Switch off your phone in health care facilities or where any posted
regulations instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities could
be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals could improperly affect 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 that has 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). And, you are reminded of the need to observe restrictions
regarding 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
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.
