4 Important Safety Information
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.
Note: Always turn off the tablet in healthcare facilities,
and request permission before using the tablet
near medical equipment.
Turning Off Your Tablet Before Flying
Turn off your tablet 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 tablet while the plane is
on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference,
FCC regulations prohibit using your tablet while the
plane is in the air.
Turning Off Your Tablet in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations,
turn your tablet off when in a blasting area or in
other areas with signs indicating two-way radios
should be turned off. Construction crews often use
remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn your tablet off when you’re in any area that has
a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s
rare, your tablet and accessories could generate
sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or 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’s engine.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas,
flammable liquids, or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains
yourtablet or accessories.
