Important Safety Information 13

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:
ƔFueling areas such as gas stations.
ƔBelow deck on boats.
ƔFuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
ƔAreas where the air contains chemicals or
particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
ƔAny 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
U.S. Cellular invoice.
Your DuraPro is water-resistant. To ensure that your
phone maintains water resistance, the following
precautions must be observed.
ƔMake sure the battery cover is properly attached
and locked.
ƔMake sure the charger/accessory jack and the
headphone jack are properly sealed, with no
foreign objects obstructing the seals.
ƔDo not expose your phone to water heated in
excess of 104°F (40°C), or to liquids other than
water, such as detergent, beverages, or
chlorinated or treated water.
ƔDry your phone as quickly as possible when wet.
