risky areas. Turn off your mobile phone before entering a place susceptible to explosion,
such as an oil station, oil tank, chemical plant or a place where a blasting process is
under way.

 OBSERVE ALL SPECIAL REGULATIONS

Follow any special regulations in force in any area such as hospitals and always switch
off your phone whenever it is forbidden to use it or, when it may cause interference or
danger. Properly use your mobile phone near medical apparatuses, such as

-9-
