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:
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.
Section 5A: Safety
Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
