Aircraft

Current regulations prohibit the use of certain types of portable electronic
devices (PEDs) on board commercial aircraft, due to the potential for
interference with navigational and communications equipment.

• The following devices may not be operated at any time on aircraft: two-way

transmitting pagers; commercial two-way transmitters (walkie-talkies);
and devices designed to radiate RF energy on a specific frequency.

• The following devices may be operated when the aircraft is at the gate with

the boarding door open, or, at the captain’s discretion only, when the
aircraft is away from the gate during extended ground time: cellular
telephones.

• Conventional one-way pagers may be operated at all times.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn OFF your communicator
when in a "blasting area" or in areas posted "Turn off two-way radio."
Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Do not allow your T900 Personal Interactive Communicator (PIC) to be within
the proximity of any potentially explosive atmospheres.
