Aircraft
•
Turn off the phone before boarding any aircraft.
•
While the plane is on the ground, receive approval
from the airline crew prior to using the cellular phone.
•
Do not use the phone while the plane is in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Fed-
eral Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require air-
line crew permission prior to phone usage. To prevent
interference with cellular systems, FCC regulations prohibit
using the phone while an aircraft is in the air.
Children
Do not allow children to play with the phone; the phone is
not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others. In addi-
tion, children could damage the phone or make calls that
result in an increase to the phone bill.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering in construction projects, turn off the
phone when in a blasting area or in areas posted: "Turn Off
Two-Way Radio." Construction crews often use remote con-
trol RF devices to set off explosives.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off the phone in an area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Although it is rare, the phone or its accessories
could generate sparks. Sparks in certain areas could cause
an explosion of fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are usually,
but not always, clearly marked. Potentially explosive areas
include fueling areas such as gas stations, below deck on
boats, and fuel or chemical transfer and storage facilities.
Additional areas are atmospheres with chemicals or parti-
cles in the air such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any
area where it is advised to turn off the vehicle engine.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquids, or explo-
sives in the same compartment that contains the phone or
its accessories.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, such as propane or
butane, must comply with the National Fire Protection Stan-
dard (NFPA-58). For a copy of the standard, contact the
National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch
Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.
