Rules of mobile communication usage

For the mobile communication users it is important to understand that any phone of GSM standard is a receiver and transmitter of low capacity radio signals.

In spite of evident necessity and usefulness of the mobile communication in the life of a modern person there is a certain list of places, where it’s necessary to restrict yourselves in using mobile communication, specifically:

• In the hospitals and other health care institutions, where life support equipment is installed and operated.
  
  Mobile phone can potentially impact the work of the sensitive medical equipment, that’s why we recommend turning off your mobile phone in the hospitals and other health care institutions, where even such insignificant radiation can result in undesirable failures of the medical equipment.

• On board of a plane.
  
  Radiation from a mobile phone can potentially result in a failure of the navigation devices. That’s why it is strongly prohibited to use the mobile phones on board of the planes. One should understand that a sign with the crossed mobile phone implies that you have to turn off your phone, and not just reject calls. However, some mobile phone producers provide for a «plane» phone mode in their new mobile phone models, where a device «forgets» about its mobile origin and completely turns off the receiver and transmitter. A typical representative of the new device generation meant for use in the planes is, for instance, Nokia 7700 smartphone, equipped with so called «safe» operation mode.
