Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone
off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating
two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often
use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your
phone and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause
an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death.
These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include:
ᮣ
Any area where it is very humid and with inflammables.
ᮣ
Fueling areas such as gas stations.
ᮣ
Below deck on boats.
ᮣ
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
ᮣ
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as
grain,dust, or metal powders.
ᮣ
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn
off your vehicle’s engine.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as
they could hurt themselves and others,damage the phone or
make calls that increase your telephone bill.

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.
