Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless devices may
interfere with some hearing aids. If
interference occurs, consult your service
provider.
■ Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly
installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles such
as electronic fuel injection systems,
electronic antiskid (antilock) braking
systems, electronic speed control
systems, air bag systems. For more
information, check with the
manufacturer or its representative of
your vehicle or any equipment that has
been added.
Only qualified personnel should service
the device, or install the device in a
vehicle. Faulty installation or service may
be dangerous and may invalidate any
warranty that may apply to the device.
Check regularly that all wireless device
equipment in your vehicle is mounted
and operating properly. Do not store or
carry flammable liquids, gases, or
explosive materials in the same
compartment as the device, its parts, or
enhancements. For vehicles equipped
with an air bag, remember that an air bag
inflates with great force. Do not place
objects, including installed or portable
wireless equipment in the area over the
air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
If in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag
inflates, serious injury could result.
■ Potentially explosive
environments
Switch off your device when in any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere
and obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
include areas where you would normally
be advised to turn off your vehicle
engine. Sparks in such areas could cause
an explosion or fire resulting in bodily
injury or even death. Switch off the
device at refuelling points such as near
gas pumps at service stations. Observe
restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots, storage, and
distribution areas, chemical plants or
where blasting operations are in
progress. Areas with a potentially
explosive atmosphere are often but not
always clearly marked. They include
below deck on boats, chemical transfer or
storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied
petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane), and areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles such as grain, dust
or metal powders.
Using your device while flying in aircraft
is prohibited. Switch off your device
before boarding an aircraft. The use of
wireless telephones in an aircraft may be
dangerous to the operation of the
aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone
network, and may be illegal.
FCC regulations prohibit using your
wireless device while in the air. The use of
wireless telephones in an aircraft may be
dangerous to the operation of the
aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone
network, and may be illegal.
