184 Section 4A: Important Safety Information
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
isin 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
couldgenerate 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:
䢇Fueling areas such as gas stations.
䢇Below deck on boats.
䢇Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
䢇Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust,
or metal powders.
䢇Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle’s engine.
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 invoice.
Operating EnvironmentThis phone meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal
use position against the ear or when positioned at least 2.2 centimeters
(0.87 inch) from the body. When a carry case, belt clip, or holder is used for
body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and should position the
phone the above-stated distance from your body.
To transmit data files or messages, this phone requires a quality connection
to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages maybe
delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure that the above separation
distance instructions are followed until the transmissionis completed.
