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 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 remote-control 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.

Note:

Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of
your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.

Restricting Children’s Access to your Phone

Your Sprint PCS Phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with it

because they could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls

that increase your phone bill.
