186 Section 4A: Important Safety Information
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to
Your Phone
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee
connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon
any mobile phone for essential communication (e.g., medical
emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks
or when certain network services or mobile phone features are in use.
Check with your local service provider for details.
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a
hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to
specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.
Following Safety Guidelines
Tooperate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special
regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is
forbidden or when it maycause interference or danger.
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Mostmodern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (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 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 healthcare facilities, and request
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
