• The use of cellular telephones or devices in aircraft is illegal. Use in aircraft may endanger operation and disrupt the cellular network. Failure to observe t his restriction may result in suspension or denial of cellular s ervices to the offender, legal action or both

• Do not operate in the vicinity of gasoline or diesel-fuel pumps unless use has been approved and authorized

• Do not operate in locations where medical equipment that the device could interfere with may be in use

• Do not operate in fuel depots, chemical plants, or blasting areas unless use has been approved and authorized

• Use care if operating in the vicinity of protected personal medical devices, i.e., hearing aids and pacemakers

• Operation in the presence of other electronic equipment may cause interference if equipment is incorrectly protected. Follow recommendations for installation from equipment manufacturers
