TurningOffYourPhoneBeforeFlying

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.

TurningOffYourPhoneinDangerousAreas

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.
