Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your device while in the air. 
Switch OFF your tablet before boarding an aircraft.
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 Atmosphere
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 marked clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling 
areas (such as gasoline 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 particles (such as grain, dust, or 
metal powders); and any other area where you would normally 
be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, 
including either installed or portable wireless equipment, in 
the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If 
in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the 
air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
FDA Consumer Update
 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center 
for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer 
Update on Mobile Tablets:
1. Do tablets pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any 
health problems are associated with using tablets.  
There is no proof, however, that tablets are absolutely safe. 
Tablets emit low levels of Radio Frequency (RF) energy in the 
microwave range while being used. They also emit very low 
levels of RF when in idle mode. Whereas high levels of RF can 
produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low 
level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no 
known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF
