Aircraft
Turn off your phone belong boarding any aircraft. The Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that you have prior
permission from the crew to use your phone while the plane is
on the ground. FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while
the plane is in the air. Do not use your phone at any time while
traveling on board a plane.
Blasting Areas
Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set
off explosives. To avoid interfering with blasting operations,
turn off your phone when you are in a blasting area or in any
area with signs posted that read "Turn off two-way radio."
Other Dangerous Areas
Turn off your phone in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could
generate sparks, which could cause explosion or fire. Areas
with a potentially explosive atmosphere may not always be
clearly marked.
These areas may 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 engine
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in
the compartment of a vehicle containing your phone or
accessories.
