wireless equipment is improperly installed and the
air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

on Mobile Phones:
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show
that any health problems are associated with
using wireless phones. There is no proof,
however, that wireless phones are absolutely
safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of
radiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave
range while being used. They also emit very low
levels of RF when in the standby mode. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that
does not produce heating effects causes no
known adverse health effects. Many studies of low
level RF exposures have not found any biological
effects. Some studies have suggested that some
biological effects may occur, but such findings
have not been confirmed by additional research.
In some cases, other researchers have had
difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in
determining the reasons for inconsistent results.

Aircraft

FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the
air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn
your phone 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 phone 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.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag

An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOTplace
objects, including either installed or portable
wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or
