Using your Phone Near Other
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded
from radio frequency (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
and entertainment systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or its
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.
Tip:
Always turn off the
phone in healthcare
facilities and request
permission before
using the phone
near medical
equipment.
