Electronic Devices

Your wireless telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver.

When the power is on, the phone receives and sends out RF

energy. Most modern electronic equipment, such as equipment

in hospitals and cars, contains an RF signal shield. RF energy

may affect some inadequately shielded electronic equipment.

Turn off your phone in health care facilities, and always request

permission before using the phone near medical equipment.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such

as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are

shielded adequately from external RF signals.

Note if there are any regulations posted in the area regarding

the operation of wireless phones, and learn where you can use

them safely within the facility.

Aircraft

Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. The Federal

Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that you have prior

permission from the crew to use your phone while the plane is

on the ground. FCC regulations prohibit using your phone

while the plane is in the air. Do not use your phone at any time

while traveling on board a plane.

Blasting Areas

Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set

off explosives. To avoid interfering with blasting operations,

turn off your phone when you are in a blasting area or in any

area with signs posted that read “Turn off two-way radio.”
