OTHER SAFETY GUIDELINES
AIRCRAFT
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air.
Turn your phone OFF before boarding an aircraft. Always
request and obtain prior consent and approval of an autho-
rized airline representative before using your phone aboard
an aircraft. Always follow the instructions of the airline
representative whenever using your phone aboard an
aircraft, to prevent any possible interference with airborne
electronic equipment.
BLASTING AREAS
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your
phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted:
“Turn off twoway radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire result-
ing in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere 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; vehicles using liquefied petro-
leum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal
powders; and any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.
