crew member to use your phone while the plane is on

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
remotecontrol 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.
•
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,
liquid 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
Sprint PCS Invoice.

Use only Sprint-approved batteries and battery
chargers. These chargers are designed to
maximize battery life. Using other batteries or
chargers voids your warranty and may cause
damage.
•
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only
in temperatures that range from 32º F to 113º F
(0º C to 45º C).
•
Don't use the battery charger in direct sunlight or
in high humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
•
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
•
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery
clean.
•
Don't attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the
battery.
•
The battery may need recharging if it has not
been used for a long period of time.
•
It's best to replace the battery when it no longer
provides acceptable performance. It can be
recharged hundreds of times before it needs
replacing.
•
Don't store the battery in high temperature areas
for long periods of time. It's best to follow these
storage rules:
Less than one month:
4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)
More than one month:
4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)
