that can be interfered with by radio frequency
If you use medical equipment, contact the equipment manufacturer

regulations regarding mobile device usage
while operating a vehicle

use your mobile device while driving, if it is prohibited by law. For your
safety and the safety of others, use your common sense and remember
the following tips:

cause a fire.
Do not store your device near magnetic fields
Your device may malfunction or the battery may discharge from •
exposure to magnetic fields.

•
and boarding passes, may be damaged by magnetic fields.
Call roadside assistance or a special, non-emergency assistance number
•
when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious
hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one
appears injured, or a vehicle that you know to be stolen, call a number
that is designated for reporting these types of situations.
Proper care and use of your mobile device

•
damage inside the device. Water damage to your device can void your
