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.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off
your phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with
signs indicating that two-way radios should be turned off.
Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices
to set off explosives.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or
explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that
contains your phone or accessories.
Turn off your phone when you're in any area that has a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it's rare, your
phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks
could cause an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily
injury or even death. These areas are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include:
• Fueling areas such as gas stations.
• Below deck on boats.
• Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
