Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying - Kyocera Rise Basic Manual

Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying

Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To
prevent possible interference with aircraft systems,
the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
regulations require you to have permission from a
crew member to use your phone while the plane is
on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference,
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the
plane is in the air.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous
Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn
your phone off when in a blasting area or in other
areas with signs indicating two-way radios should
be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-
control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn your phone off when you're in any area that
has a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it's
rare, your phone and accessories could generate
sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or fire,
resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas
are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include:
● Fueling areas such as gas stations.
● Below deck on boats.
22 Important Safety Information
● Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
● Areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
● Any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle's engine.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas,
flammable liquids, or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains
your phone or accessories.
Restricting Children's Access to Your
Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play
with it as they could hurt themselves and others,
damage the phone or make calls that increase your
Virgin Mobile invoice.
