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 radiofrequency (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 and/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 health-care 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.
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal
powders.
