Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is
prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety
always comes first.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given
area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or
danger.
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, RF
signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment. RF signals
may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems or
entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to
determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check with
the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle. Consult the
manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and request permission before using the
phone near medical equipment.
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.
