Section 4A: Important Safety Information

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. Remember that safety always comes first.

Following Safety Guidelines

To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special
regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is
forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency (RF)
signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately
shielded electronic equipment.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic operating systems or entertainment systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or their representative to determine if these
systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check with
the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your
vehicle.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded
from external RF signals.

Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying

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.

Note:

Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and request
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.

Tip:

Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint Store, or
