Safety
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 remotecontrol RF
devices to set off explosives.
Turn your phone off when you're in any area that has a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it's rare,
your phone and accessories could generate sparks.
Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in
bodily injury or even death. These areas 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.
• 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’s engine.
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play
with it as they could hurt themselves and others,
damage the phone or make calls that increase your
Sprint PCS Invoice.
Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or
explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that
contains your phone or accessories.
