Turn off your wireless connection in areas where wireless use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger. Some specific situations are described below. In general, you should not use your Device with your wireless connection turned on any place you are not allowed to use a mobile device. Turn Off Wireless When Flying To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration regulations and many other aviation agencies require you to have permission from a crew member to use your device's wireless service. Using Your Device Around Other Electronic Devices Device generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency (RF) energy and, if not used in accordance with its instructions, may cause interference to radio communications and electronic equipment. External RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems, entertainment systems, and personal medical devices. While most modern electronic equipment is shielded from external RF signals, if in doubt, check with the manufacturer. For personal medical devices
(such as pacemakers and hearing aids), consult with your doctor or the manufacturer to determine whether they are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Steps to Minimise Interference If your device causes interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by turning your device off and on), you can try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
reorient or relocate the receiving antenna for the radio or television; increase the separation between the radio or television and your device; connect equipment and receivers to different outlets; or consult the radio or television manufacturer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Watch for Signs There are some places where RF signals could constitute a hazard, such as health care facilities, and construction sites. If you are not sure, look around for signs indicating that two-way radios or mobile phones should be turned off. In addition, turn off and do not charge your device if you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, as sparks in such areas could cause an explosion. Such areas are usually, but not always, clearly identified, and include areas where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
