Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a mini- mum separation of 15 cm be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pace- maker. Persons with pacemakers:
•Should always keep the phone more than 15 cm from their pacemaker when the phone is turned on
•Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket
•Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the phone off immediately.
Areas with explosion risk
Always turn off the unit when you are in an area where there is a risk of explosion. Follow all signs and instructions. There is a risk of explosion in places that include areas where you are normally requested to turn off your car engine. In these areas, sparks can cause explosion or fire which can lead to personal injury or even death.
Turn off the unit at filling stations, and any other place that has fuel pumps and auto repair facilities.
Follow the restrictions that apply to the use of radio equipment near places where fuel is stored and sold, chemical factories and places where blasting is in progress.
Areas with risk for explosion are often – but not always – clearly marked. This also applies to below decks on ships; the transport or storage of chemicals; vehicles that use liquid fuel (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powder.
