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.
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
Areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles such as grain, dust or metal powders
Any other area where you would normally
be advised to turn off your vehicle engine
Restricting Children’s Access to
your Phone
Your Sprint PCS Phone is not a toy. Children
should not be allowed to play with it because
they could hurt themselves and others, damage
the phone or make calls that increase your
phone bill.
