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.

Water Resistance

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.
