For Your Safety 154
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn your device OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these
areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles. 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
Turn your device OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your device while in the air. Switch OFF your device
before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in a
“blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and
instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn your device OFF when in any area with 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.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always marked
clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline stations); below
deck on boats; fuel or 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.
