Abstract: The invention relates to a wireless set, beacon apparatus, method and a computer program product for preventing the use of means that can generate harmful interference in a “prohibition area”. A beacon broadcasts a state signal, specifying prohibition or permission to use potentially harmful means, while its transmission range delimits the prohibition area in which the prohibition applies. A beacon receiver, included in the wireless set which also includes potentially harmful means, is active only in a beacon location area, including at least a fraction of a prohibition area. The beacon location areas are defined and stored in a digital memory of the wireless set. According to the received state signal, the potentially harmful means are induced to a deactivation state or to a regular operation state.
