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.
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.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
Turn off your phone when you’re in any area that has a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone or its accessories could generate
sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or a 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.
