level of interference depends on the type of the hearing device and the
distance from the interference source. Increasing the separation between
them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Medical Equipment
Turn off your wireless device when you are requested to do so in hospitals,
clinics or healthcare facilities. These requests are designed to prevent
possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.
Aircraft
Turn off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport
or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices onboard the aircraft
and enable airplane mode of your phone when boarding an aircraft.
Interference in Vehicles
Please note that because of possible interference with electronic equipment,
some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles
unless a hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in the installation.
EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
Gas Stations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to
turn off wireless devices such as your phone or other radio equipment.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas, below
decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where
the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Blasting Caps and Areas
Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a blasting area or
in areas where signs are posted to power off “two-way radios” or “electronic
devices” to avoid interfering with blasting operations.
