GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have per-
mission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is
on the ground. To prevent interference with cellular systems, FCC
regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your phone. It is not a toy.
Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or
others in the eye with the antenna, for example). Children also
could damage the phone, or make calls that increase your tele-
phone bills.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF
when in a blasting area or in areas posted: Turn off two-way
radio . Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to
set off explosives.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could gener-
ate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include: fueling areas such as gas sta-
tions, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facil-
ities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders, and any other areas where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the com-
partment of your vehicle which contains your phone or accessories.
Vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard
(NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire
Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269,
Attn: Publications Sales Division.
Magnetic Storage Media
Your phone contains a magnet. Do not place your phone in close
proximity to magnetic storage media such as diskettes or credit cards
for extended periods of time.
Batteries
CAUTION: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal objects
to contact or short circuit the battery terminals.
