POSTED FACILITIES
Turn your device OFF where posted notices so require.
Turn Off Your Device Before Flying
AIRCRAFT
FCC regulations prohibit using the transmitting and phone functions of your device while in the air. In addition, most
airline regulations prohibit the on-board use of portable PCs (and all other portable electronic devices that could
potentially emit stray RF energy), particularly during take-offs and landings, to prevent any possible interference with
the reception of signals by airborne electronic navigational devices.
Turn your device OFF before boarding an aircraft. Always request and obtain prior consent and approval of an
authorized airline representative before using your device aboard an aircraft. Always follow the instructions of the
airline representative whenever using your device aboard an aircraft, to prevent any possible interference with
airborne electronic equipment.
Turn Off Your Device in Dangerous Areas
BLASTING AREAS
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted “Turn off
two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn your device 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 resulting 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
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or articles, such as grain, dust, or
metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.
