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, flammable liquids, or explosives in the 
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories. 
 
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone 
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could hurt themselves and 
others, damage the phone or make calls that increase your phone bill.
