to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF
energy or if you have any questions. Switch off your device in
health care facilities when any regulations posted in these
areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
energy.
Vehicles RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles
(e.g. electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid
(anti-lock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems,
air bag systems). 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 Switch your device off in any facility where
posted notices so require.
Safety information about video games
About photosensitive seizures A very small percentage of
people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain
visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may
appear in video games. Even people who have no history of
seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that
can cause photosensitive epileptic seizures while watching
video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms,
including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face
twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation,
confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also
cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to
injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you
experience any of these symptoms. Adults who allow
teenagers (or children) to play the games should watch for or
ask their children about these symptoms as they are more
likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of
photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by playing in
a well-lit room and by not playing when you are drowsy or
fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of
seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
Play safely Take a break from playing games at least every
half hour. Stop playing immediately if you begin to feel tired
of if you experience an unpleasant sensation or pain in your
hands and/or arms. If the condition persists, consult a doctor.
Use of vibration can aggravate injuries. Do not turn vibration
on if you have any ailment in the bones or joints of your
fingers, hands, wrists, or arms.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Switch off your device 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.
Users are advised to switch off the device when at a refuelling
point (service station). Users are reminded of the need to
observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel
depots (fuel 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 liquified
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the
