Switch off your phone in health care facilities or where any posted regulations instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities could be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals could improperly affect installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. These could include electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems, or air bag systems.

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.

Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices so require.

Potentially explosive atmospheres

Switch off your phone if you are in any area that has 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.

You are advised to switch off the phone while at a refueling point (service station). And, you are reminded of the need to observe restrictions regarding the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel 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. These areas include the following: below deck on boats; 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.
