Potentially Explosive Atmospheres— Turn your
phone 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 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 graindust or metal powders and any
other area where you would normally be advised to turn
off your vehicle engine.
Aboard Aircraft— Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) regulations prohibit the use of
conventional cellular telephones while an aircraft is in
flight. Signals from conventional cellular telephones
travel much further when airborne and may interfere with
cellular communications on the ground. These signals
may also interfere with other equipment aboard the
aircraft. Regulations authorize the air cellular feature of
the NavTalk Pilot to be used in flight.
Operation of the NavTalk Pilot aboard an
aircraft in flight is permitted only when connected
to the aircraft adapter supplied with the NavTalk
Pilot system. In this configuration transmit power is
reduced and routed to an external, horizontally polarized
antenna, minimizing the potential for interference.
Driving— Check the laws and regulations on the use
of wireless telephones in the areas where you drive. Always
obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
Give full attention to driving-- driving safely is your first
responsibility. Use hands-free operation, if available. Pull
off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.

Notice!
The service does not guarantee
9-1-1 or other emergency
response capabilities, and the
phone is not intended to be
flight critical equipment.
Although laws prohibit listening
in on telephone calls, your
privacy cannot be guaranteed.
Noise or other interference may
be observed at the airborne
unit when flying over major
metropolitan areas. Such
interference may affect the
quality of the call.
Operation of this service may
be temporarily refused, limited,
interrupted or curtailed as
appropriate for the proper
operation of this service and for
other business purposes.
The AirCell service will be
limited, at least initially, and
may change from time to time.
Airborne cellular service is
currently provided under a
waiver granted by the FCC,
and is subject to the renewal of
that waiver by the FCC on a
biennial basis.
