Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. If interference occurs, 
consult your service provider.
■ Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor 
vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid (antilock) braking systems, 
electronic speed control systems, and air bag systems. For more information, check with the 
manufacturer or its representative of your vehicle or any equipment that has been added.
Only qualified personnel should service the device, or install the device in a vehicle. Faulty 
installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty that may apply to 
the device. Check regularly that all wireless device equipment in your vehicle is mounted and 
operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in 
the same compartment as the device, its parts, or enhancements. For vehicles equipped with 
an air bag, remember that air bags inflate with great force. Do not place objects, including 
installed or portable wireless equipment in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment 
area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious 
injury could result.
Using your device while flying in aircraft is prohibited. Switch off your device before boarding 
an aircraft. The use of wireless teledevices in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation 
of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network, and may be illegal.
■ Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey 
all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres include areas where you would 
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Sparks in such areas could cause an 
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Switch off the device at refueling 
points such as near gas pumps at service stations. Observe restrictions on the use of radio 
equipment in fuel depots, 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. They include below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, 
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), and areas where the air 
contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
■ Emergency calls
Important: Wireless phones, including this device, operate using radio signals, wireless 
networks, landline networks, and user-programmed functions. Because of this, 
connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed. You should never rely solely on 
any wireless device for essential communications like medical emergencies.
