Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless device may interfere
with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your service
provider (or call the customer service line to
discuss alternatives).
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device,
consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from external
RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist
you in obtaining this information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn your device OFF in health care facilities when
any regulations posted in these areas instruct you
to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may
use equipment that could be sensitive to external
RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles. 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.
Posted Facilities
Turn your device OFF in any facility where posted
notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your device while
in the air. Switch OFF your tablet before boarding
an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn
your device OFF when in a “blasting area” or in
areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all
signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn your device OFF when in any area with 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.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are
often, but not always marked clearly. Potential
areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline
stations); below deck on boats; fuel or 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
