Maintaining Safe Use of and
Access to YourPhone
Do Not Rely on YourPhone for Emergency Calls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot
guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should
never rely solely upon any mobile phone foressential
communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls
may not be possible on all cellularnetworks or when certain
network services ormobile phone features are in use. Check
with yourlocal service providerfor details.
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone
without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions.
Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Rememberthat safety
always comes first.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate yourphone safely and efficiently, always follow any
special regulations in a given area. Turn yourphone off in areas
where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or
danger.

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio
frequency (RF) signals. However, RFsignals from wireless
phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
RFsignals may affect improperly installed orinadequately
shielded electronic operating systems orentertainment systems
in motorvehicles. Check with the manufacturerortheir
representative to determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RFsignals. Also check with the
manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to
yourvehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such
as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RFsignals.
Turning Off YourPhone Before Flying
Turn off yourphone 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 memberto use your phone while the
plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC
regulations prohibit using yourphone while the plane is in the
air.

request permission before using the phone near
medical equipment.
