Electronic Devices
Your wireless telephone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. When the power is on, the phone receives
and sends out RF energy. Most modern electronic
equipment, such as equipment in hospitals and cars,
contains an RF signal shield. RF energy may affect
some inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
Turn off your phone in health care facilities, and
always request permission berore using the phone
near medical equipment.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical
devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to
determine if they are shielded adequately from
external RF signals.
Note if there are any regulations posted in the area
regarding the operation of wireless phones, and learn
where you can use them safely within the facility.
Aircraft
Turn off your phone belore boarding any aircraft. The
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that
you have prior permission from the crew to use your
phone while the plane is on the ground. FCC
regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane
is in the air. Do not use your phone at any time while
traveling on board a plane.
Blasting Areas
Construction crews often use remote-control RF
devices to set off explosives. To avoid interfering with
blasting operations, turn off your phone when you are
in a blasting area or in any area with signs posted that
read “Turn off two-way radio.”
For a variety of safety reasons, it is important to
consider where you will be using your phone. When
using your phone and its accessories, please follow
these guidelines:

recommendations for the protection of the public

states and countries. Know the laws and regulations
for your area, and pull off the road and park if you
