Add pauses
When you call automated systems (like banking services),
you are often required to enter a password or account
number. Instead of manually entering the numbers each time,
you can store the numbers in your Phonebook along with
special characters called pauses.

P pause: A hard pause stops the calling sequence until
further input from you.
•
T pause: A two-second pause stops the calling sequence
for two seconds and then automatically sends the
remaining digits.
You can enter multiple two-second pauses to extend the
length of a pause. For example, two consecutive two-second
pauses cause a total pause time of four seconds. Keep in
mind pauses count as digits towards the 32-digit maximum.

Messages
Your phone is able to send and receive text messages to
compatible phones and other devices. If a text message
exceeds 160 characters, it is broken up and delivered in
separate messages, which incur additional cost. Before you
learn to send text messages, it’s best to cover the basics of
composing a message using the various text entry modes of
Abc, Symbol, 123, and T9 Word.
Available memory is shared between all messages. You can
store up to 50 incoming and 50 outgoing messages. The
exact number that you can store is dependent upon
message length.
Text entry modes
You can compose text messages made up of alphabetical
characters, symbols, and numbers. Each method of
character entry (symbol, number, etc.) is called a text entry
mode. There are four such entry modes as indicated in the
following table:
Text Entry
Function
Mode
Alphabetical text entry mode. Options are:
ABC - All uppercase

that appears above it in the display.

All about performance and
safety
Getting the Most Out of Your Reception
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the
signal strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the
current signal strength by displaying a number of bars next to
the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the
stronger the signal.
If you’re inside a building, being near a window may give you
better reception.
Understanding the Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of
searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated. If
your phone is active, it periodically rechecks service
availability or you can check it yourself by pressing any key.
Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message
displays on the screen. When a signal is found, your phone
returns to standby mode.
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver.
When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency
(RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling
your call controls the power level. This power can range from
0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP
standards described below.
Usage guidelines: All about performance and safety
103
VerizonA650.book Page 104 Wednesday, May 26, 2004 11:58 AM
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for
safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals.
More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from
universities, government health agencies and industries
developed this updated standard after reviewing the available
body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a
regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard
consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the
guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation
Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel
should service your phone and accessories. Faulty service
may void the warranty.
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
•
Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended
and over your shoulder.
•
•
•
•
Try not to hold, bend or twist the phone’s antenna.
Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
Speak directly into the phone’s receiver.
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or
liquid spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn
the power off and remove the battery. If it is inoperable,
return it to Verizon Wireless or call Customer Care
for service.

Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving is illegal in some states.
Even where it’s not, it can divert your attention from driving.
Remember that safety always comes first.
When using your phone in the car:
•
Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed
dial and redial.
•
•
•
When available, use a hands-free device.
Position your phone within easy reach.
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving;
if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or
hazardous weather conditions.
•
•
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place
calls when you stationary or before pulling into traffic.

when necessary.
Following Safety Guidelines
Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow
any special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in
areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause
interference or danger.
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 systems and/or entertainment
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or
their 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.

VerizonA650.book Page 107 Wednesday, May 26, 2004 11:58 AM
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.
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.
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.
Restricting Children’s Access to your Phone
Your 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.
Caring for the Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.
•
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and desktop
chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize
battery life. Using other batteries or chargers voids your
warranty and may cause damage.
•
•
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in
temperatures that range from 32º F to 104º F
(0º C to 40º C).
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
•
•
•
•
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used
for a long period of time.
•
It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides
acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds
of times before it needs replacing.
Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long
periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:
108
VerizonA650.book Page 109 Wednesday, May 26, 2004 11:58 AM
Less than one month:
32º F to 131º F (0º C to 55º C)
More than one month:
32º F to 104º F (0º C to 40º C)
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries

equipment, and void your authority to operate this equipment.
Only use approved batteries, antennas and chargers. The
use of any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and
void the phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or
a defect to the phone.
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of
equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting,
bending or sitting on it.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if
you wear a handset on your body, use the Samsung supplied
or approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn
accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure
that the antenna is at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from
your body when transmitting. Use of non- Samsung approved
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the
FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless
Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of
RF energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless
handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive
testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not
represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models
are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings.
But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be
substantially less that the level reported to the FCC. This is
because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a
110
VerizonA650.book Page 111 Wednesday, May 26, 2004 11:58 AM
base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What
is important to remember is that each phone meets strict
federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a
variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which
incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above,
variations in SAR values between different model phones do
not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the
federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by
the public.
This wireless portable device has been shown to be capable
of compliance for localized specific absorption rate (SAR) for
uncontrolled environment/general population exposure limits
specified in ANSI/IEEE Std. C95.1-1999 and has been tested
in accordance with the measurement procedures specified in
ANSI/IEEE Std. C95.3-1992.

FDA Consumer Update
Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any
health problems are associated with using wireless phones.
There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are
absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radio
frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being
used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in stand-by
Usage guidelines: All about performance and safety
111
VerizonA650.book Page 112 Wednesday, May 26, 2004 11:58 AM
mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects
(by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not
produce heating effects causes no known adverse health
effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not
found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested
that some biological effects may occur, but such findings have
not been confirmed by additional research. In some cases,
other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those
studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of
wireless phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-
emitting consumer products such as wireless phones before
they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical
devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if
wireless phones are shown to emit radio frequency energy
(RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case,
FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless phones to
notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or
recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA
regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless phone
industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
•
Support needed research into possible biological effects
of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;
•
Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF
exposure to the user that it is not necessary for device
function; and
•
Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the
best possible information on possible effects of wireless
phone use on human health.
112
VerizonA650.book Page 113 Wednesday, May 26, 2004 11:58 AM
FDA belongs to a interagency working group of the federal
agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of RF
safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The
following agencies belong to this working group:
•
•
•
•
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
Environmental Protection Agency
Federal Communications Committee
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some
interagency working group activities, as well.
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities about wireless phones
with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All
phones that are sold in the United States must comply with
FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on
FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about
wireless phones.
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone
networks rely upon. While these base stations operate at
higher power than do the wireless phones themselves, the
wireless exposures that people get from these base stations
are typically thousands of times lower than those they get
from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the subject
of the safety questions discussed in this document.
What kinds of phones are the subject of this
update?
The term “wireless phones” refers here to hand-held wireless
phones with built-in antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or
“PCS”. These types of wireless phones can expose the user
to measurable radio frequency energy (RF) because of the
short distance between the phone and the user’s head.
Usage guidelines: All about performance and safety
113
VerizonA650.book Page 114 Wednesday, May 26, 2004 11:58 AM
These RF exposures are limited by Federal Communications
Commission safety guidelines that were developed with the
advice of FDA and other federal health and safety agencies.
When the phone is located at greater distances from the user,
the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person’s
RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from
the source. The so-called “cordless phones” which have a
base unit connected to the phone wiring in a house, typically
operate at far lower per levels, and thus produce RF
exposures far below the FCC safety limits.
What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results,
and many studies have suffered from flaws in their research
methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of
radio frequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of
wireless phones have yielded conflicting results that often
cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal
studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could
Accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals.
However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor
development used animals that had been genetically
engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to
be pre-disposed to develop cancer in absence of RF
exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to
22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the
conditions under which people use wireless phones, so we
don’t know with certainty what results of such studies mean
for human health.
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since
December 2000. Between them, the studies investigated any
possible association between the use of wireless phones and
114
VerizonA650.book Page 115 Wednesday, May 26, 2004 11:58 AM
primary brain cancer, glaucoma, meningioma, or acoustic
neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or
other cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the
existence of any harmful health effects from wireless phones
RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer
questions about long-term exposures, since average period
of phone use in these studies was around three years.
What research is needed to decide whether RF
exposure from wireless phones poses a health
threat?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological
studies of people actually using wireless phones would
provide some of the data that are needed. Lifetime animal
exposure studies could be completed in a few years.
However, very large numbers of animals would be needed to
provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one
exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that is
directly applicable to human populations, but ten or more
years’ follow-up may be needed to provide answers about
some health effects, such as cancer. This is because the
interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing
agent and the time tumors develop - if they do - may be
many, many years. The interpretation of epidemiological
studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF
exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many
factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which
the phone is held, or which model of phone is used.
What is FDA doing to find out more about the
possible health effects of wireless phone RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. Toxicology Program and with
groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high
Usage guidelines: All about performance and safety
115
VerizonA650.book Page 116 Wednesday, May 26, 2004 11:58 AM
priority animal studies are conducted to address important
questions about the effects of exposure to radio frequency
energy (RF).
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health
Organization International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)
Project since its inception in 1996. An influential result of tis
work has been the development of a detailed agenda of
research needs that has driven the establishment of new
research programs around the world. The project has also
helped develop a series of public information documents on
EMF issues.
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet
Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and
Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on
wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight,
obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and
academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted
through contracts to independent investigators. The initial
research will include both laboratory studies and studies of
wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a broad
assessment of additional research needs in the context of the
latest research developments around the world.
How can I find out how much radio frequency
energy exposure I can get by using my wireless
phone?
All phones sold in the United States must comply with
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines that
limit radio frequency energy (RF) exposures. FCC
established these guidelines in consultation with FDA and
other federal health and safety agencies. The FCC limit for
exposure from wireless telephones is set at a Specific
116
VerizonA650.book Page 117 Wednesday, May 26, 2004 11:58 AM
Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
The FCC limit is consistent with the safety standards
developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurement. The exposure limit takes into
consideration the body’s ability to remove heat from the
tissue that absorb energy from the wireless phone and is set
well below levels known to have effects.
Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF
exposure level for each model of phone to the FCC. The FCC
website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for
locating the FCC identification number on your phone so you
can find your phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.
What has FDA done to measure the radio
frequency energy coming from wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is
developing a technical standard for measuring the radio
frequency energy (RF) exposure from wireless phones and
other wireless hand sets with the participation and leadership
of FDA scientists and engineers. The standard,
“Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due to
Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental
Techniques,” sets forth the first consistent test methodology
for measuring the rate at which RF is deposited in the heads
of wireless phone users. The test method uses a tissue-
simulating model of the human head. Standardized SAR test
methodology is expected to greatly improve the consistency
of measurements made at different laboratories on the same
phone. SAR is the measurement of the amount of energy
absorbed in tissue, either by the whole body or a small part of
Usage guidelines: All about performance and safety
117
VerizonA650.book Page 118 Wednesday, May 26, 2004 11:58 AM
the body. It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter.
This measurement is used to determine whether a wireless
phone complies with safety guidelines.
What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to
radio frequency energy from my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do
not know that there is--it is probably very small. But if you are
concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a
few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radio
frequency energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how
much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of
time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless
phone every day, you could place more distance between
your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure level
drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could
use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your
body or use a wireless phone connected to a
remote antenna.
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless
phones are harmful. But if you are concerned about RF
exposure from these products, you can use measures like
those described above to reduce your RF exposure from
wireless phone use.
What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of
wireless phones, including children and teenagers. If you
want to take steps to lower exposure to radio frequency
energy (RF), the measured described above would apply to
children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the
118
VerizonA650.book Page 119 Wednesday, May 26, 2004 11:58 AM
time of wireless phone use and increasing the distance
between the user and the RF source will reduce
RF exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have
advised that children be discouraged from using wireless
phones at all. For example, the government in the United
Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a
recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no
evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain
tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit
wireless phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it
was not based on scientific evidence that any health
hazard exists.
What about wireless phone
interference with medical equipment?
Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can
interact with some electronic devices. For this reason, FDA
helped develop a detailed test method to measure
electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This
test method is now part of a standard sponsored by the
Association for the Advancement of Medical instrumentation
(AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical device
manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed on
late 2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure
that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from
wireless phone EMI.
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld
wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary standard
sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and
Usage guidelines: All about performance and safety
119
VerizonA650.book Page 120 Wednesday, May 26, 2004 11:58 AM
performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless
phones so that no interference occurs when a person uses a
“compatible” phone and a “compatible” hearing aid at the
same time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for
possible interactions with other medical devices. Should
harmful interference be found to occur, FDA will conduct
testing to assess the interference and work to resolve
the problem.

CTIA Safety Information
Exposure to radio frequency signals
Your wireless hand held portable telephone is a low power
radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and
also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
120
VerizonA650.book Page 121 Wednesday, May 26, 2004 11:58 AM
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions
(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for
hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent
with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standard bodies:
•
•
•
ANSI C95.1 (1992)
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example,
over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from
universities, government health agencies, and industry
reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI
Standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines
(and those standards).
Antenna care
Use only the specified of approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
Phone operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other
telephone with the antenna pointed up and over
your shoulder.
TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION:
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
•
•
Extend your antenna fully.
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone
is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality
Usage guidelines: All about performance and safety
121
VerizonA650.book Page 122 Wednesday, May 26, 2004 11:58 AM
and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power
level than otherwise needed.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless
telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.
Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
•
Give full attention to driving--driving safety is your
first responsibility.
•
•
Use hands-free operation, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a
call if driving conditions so require.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF
signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be
shielded against RF signals from your wireless phone.
PACEMAKERS
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends
that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained
between a hand-held wireless phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
•
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches
from their pacemaker when the pacemaker is turned on;
•
•
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize
the potential for interference.
122
VerizonA650.book Page 123 Wednesday, May 26, 2004 11:58 AM
•
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
HEARING AIDS
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want
to consult your service provider (or call the customer service
line to discuss alternatives.) Optional for each
phone manufacturer.
OTHER MEDICAL DEVICES
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
VEHICLES
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment
that has been added to your vehicle.
POSTED FACILITIES
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices
so require.
Usage guidelines: All about performance and safety
123
VerizonA650.book Page 124 Wednesday, May 26, 2004 11:58 AM
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air.
Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone
OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off
two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury of even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but
not always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such
as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liguefied
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the
air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or
metal powders; and any other area where you would normally
be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
For vehicles equipped with an airbag
An airbag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects,
including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the
area over the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates,
serious injury could result.
