Maintaining Safe Use of and
Access to Your Device
Do Not Rely on Your Device for Emergency Calls
Mobile devices operate using radio signals, which cannot 
guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should 
never rely solely upon any mobile device for essential 
communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls 
may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain 
network services or mobile device features are in use. Check 
with your local service provider for details.
Using Your Device While Driving
Talking on your device while driving (or operating the device 
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 device safely and efficiently, always follow any 
special regulations in a given area. Turn your device off in 
areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause 
interference or danger.
Using Your Device Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio 
frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless 
devices 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 Device Before Flying
Turn off your device 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 device while 
the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, 
FCC regulations prohibit using your device while the plane is in 
the air.
Tip
Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local 
Sprint Store, or call Sprint at 1-800-866-7509. You can also 
dial 
# 2 2 2
on your device.
Note
Always turn off the device in healthcare facilities, and 
request permission before using the device near medical 
equipment.
