ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN VEHICLES
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should
also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
POSTED FACILITIES
Turn your device OFF where posted notices so require.
Turn Off Your Device Before Flying
AIRCRAFT
FCC regulations prohibit using the transmitting and phone functions of your device while in the
air. In addition, most airline regulations prohibit the on-board use of portable PCs (and all other
portable electronic devices that could potentially emit stray RF energy), particularly during
take-offs and landings, to prevent any possible interference with the reception of signals by
airborne electronic navigational devices.
Turn your device OFF before boarding an aircraft. Always request and obtain prior consent and
approval of an authorized airline representative before using your device aboard an aircraft.
Always follow the instructions of the airline representative whenever using your device aboard
an aircraft, to prevent any possible interference with airborne electronic equipment.
Turn Off Your Device in Dangerous Areas
BLASTING AREAS
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in a "blasting area" or
in areas posted "Turn off two-way radio". Obey all signs and instructions.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn your device OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all
signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily
injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere 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; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas
where the air contains chemicals or articles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any
other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle's engine.
