Other medical devices :
Radio transmitting equipment, including wireless devices such as this mobile
device, can interfere with the operation of inadequately protected medical
equipment. Consult a doctor or the manufacturer of the medical equipment to
see if the equipment is adequately protected from external Radio Frequency
energy. Turn your device off in places where regulations apply, especially in
hospitals.
Health Facilities :
Hospitals and health facilities may be using equipment that is particularly
sensitive to external radio-frequency emissions. Turn your mobile device off
when staff or signs tell you to.
Blasting sites and identified areas :
Switch off your equipment in zones where the atmosphere is potentially
explosive. Follow all official instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire, resulting in serious bodily injury or death. Switch off your
device in gas stations, especially near the gas pumps. Carefully observe
instructions on use in fuel depots, storage and distribution areas, at chemical
plants or in areas where explosives are used.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always clearly
marked. These include areas where it is normally advisable to swich off
engines, the area below deck on boats, facilties where chemicals are
transferred or stored and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles
such as grain, dust or metallic powder. Check with the manufacturers of
vehicles that use LPG (such as butane or propane) if the device can be used
safely in their vicinity.
All our mobile devices conform to international standards and regulations, and
where appropriate national recognition, to limit the exposure of users to electro
magnetic fields. These standards and regulations were adopted after
extensive scientific research. This research does not link the use of mobile
phones with any adverse effects on health if the equipment is used in
accordance to standards and regulations.
However, if you want to reduce the levels of exposure to radio frequency
radiation you can limit your time using the mobile device in wireless mode
because the length of time is a contributing factor to the exposure received by
a person. Similarly, keeping the mobile device away from the body is another
factor, as exposure levels lessen dramatically with distance.
