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.

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.
