Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
radiofrequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless
phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic operating systems and/or entertainment
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 health care facilities and request
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone or set your phone to Airplane mode before
boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with
aircraft systems, Transport Canada regulations require you to
have permission from a crew member to use your phone while
the plane is on the ground.
