the device when it causes danger or interference with electronic
devices.
Medical Device
zPower off your device and follow the rules and regulations set
forth by the hospitals and health care facilities.

zSome wireless devices may affect the performance of the hearing
aids. For any such problems, consult your service provider.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch off your device in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, and comply with all signs and instructions. Areas that
may have potentially explosive atmospheres include the areas where
you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Triggering of sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire,
resulting in bodily injuries or even deaths. Do not switch on the
device at refueling points such as service stations. Comply with
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and
distribution areas, and chemical plants. Also, adhere to restrictions in
areas where blasting operations are in progress. Before using the
device, watch out for areas that have potentially explosive
atmosphere that are often, but not always, clearly marked. Such
locations include areas below the deck on boats, chemical transfer or
storage facilities and areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Ask the
manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as
propane or butane) if this device can be safely used in their vicinity.
