Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly in-

stalled or inadequately shielded

electronic systems in motor vehicles.

Check with the manufacturer or its

representative regarding your vehi-

cle. You should also consult the

manufacturer of any equipment that

has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility

where posted notices so require.

Airplanes

FCC and Airline Regulations prohibit

using your phone while in the air.

Turn your phone OFF when request-

ed by the airline.
Check and comply with the policy of

your airline regarding the use of your

phone while the airplane is on the

ground.

Blasting areas

To avoid interfering with blasting op-

erations, turn your phone OFF when

in a “blasting area” or in areas post-

ed: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey

all signs and instructions.

Potentially explosive

atmospheres

Turn your phone OFF when in any ar-

ea with a potentially explosive at-

mosphere and obey all signs and in-

structions. Sparks in such areas

could cause an explosion or fire re-

sulting in bodily injury or even

death.
Areas with a potentially explosive at-

mosphere are often but not always

clearly marked. They include: fueling

areas such as gasoline stations; be-

low 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 parti-

cles, such as grain, dust or metal

powders; and any other area where

you would normally be advised to

turn off your vehicle engine.

Emergency calls (SOS)

Your wireless phone can be used to

make emergency calls. You can

make an emergency call from the

main display screen. Enter the local

emergency number such as 911 and

then press the

key.

This phone, like any wireless phone,

operates using radio signals, wire-

less and landline networks, and user-

programmed functions. Because of

this, connections in all conditions

cannot be guaranteed. Therefore,

you should never rely solely on any

wireless phone for essential commu-

nications (for example, medical

emergencies). Remember - to make

or receive any calls, the phone must

be switched on and be used in a serv-

ice area that has adequate signal

strength. Emergency calls might not
