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 radio frequency (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 off your phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with
signs indicating that two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF
devices to set off explosives.
