Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference
Problems
Turn off your mobile device in any location where posted notices
instruct you to do so.
In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to
do so by airline staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane mode
or similar feature, consult airline staff about using it in flight.
Implantable Medical Devices
If you have an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or
defibrillator, consult your physician before using this mobile
device.
Persons with implantable medical devices should observe the
following precautions:
•
ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than
20 centimeters (8 inches) from the implantable medical
device when the mobile device is turned ON.
•
DO NOT carry the mobile device in the breast pocket.
•
Use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to
minimize the potential for interference.
•
Turn OFF the mobile device immediately if you have any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your
implantable medical device. If you have any questions about using
your mobile device with your implantable medical device, consult
your healthcare provider.
Driving Precautions
The use of wireless phones while driving may cause distraction.
Discontinue a call if you can’t concentrate on driving.
Additionally, the use of wireless devices and their accessories may
be prohibited or restricted in certain areas. Always obey the laws
and regulations on the use of these products.
Responsible driving practices can be found in the “Smart Practices
While Driving” section in this guide (or separate guide).
Operational Warnings
Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices in public areas.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not
always, posted and can include fueling areas, such as below decks
on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, or areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain dust,
or metal powders.
When you are in such an area, turn off your mobile device, and do
not remove, install, or charge batteries. In such areas, sparks can
occur and cause an explosion or fire.
