Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline
staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on board the aircraft. If your
device offers a ‘flight mode’, this must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
Interference in Vehicles
Please note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment, some
vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a
hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in the installation.
Explosive Environments
Gas Stations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to turn off
wireless devices such as your phone or other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling areas, below decks on boats,
fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Blasting Caps and Areas
Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a blasting area or in areas
posted power off “two-way radios” or “electronic devices” to avoid interfering with blasting
