TURN OFF CELL PHONE BEFORE BOARDING In accordance with government regulations, do not use mobile phones, TV sets or radios, as these can interfere with navigational equipment. The cabin crew will notify you when you can or cannot use laptop computers, MP3 players, tablets and other electronic entertainment devices. Even when your cell phone is on standby it sends out an electromagnetic signal. This signal becomes stronger during a voice call or text message (SMS). Once the aircraft approaches its cruising altitude, your cell phone will not work anyway. The plane moves so fast that once the phone’s presence has been detected and registered by a cell in the network, the phone is no longer within that cell’s range. Yet if your phone is active, the electromagnetic signals it emits could disrupt the aviation equipment, endangering hundreds of lives. Operating electronic equipment that interferes with aviation navigation is punishable by imprisonment of two years or a fine of two hundred million rupiahs. Make yourself comfortable If the accident results in damage or loss of aircraft and property, you can be punished with imprisonment of five years and a maximum fine of two billion five hundred million rupiah. If an action results in permanent disability or death, you can be liable to imprisonment of fifteen years. To ensure your safety and security, please read the following instructions. Use of a radio frequency, other than for flight activity purposes, that interferes with aviation safety is punishable with imprisonment of five years and a maximum fine of one hundred million rupiah, and for a criminal act that results in death you can be imprisoned for fifteen years and fined a maximum of one hundred million rupiah. SAFETY INFORMATION Taking the time to read the safety pamphlet in your seat pocket and watch the safety demonstration every time you travel will reinforce important safety information and help you recall it in an emergency. Turn off your cell phone as soon as you enter the plane. If you have a phone in your carry-on luggage, check to make sure it is off. SECURE CARRY-ON BAGGAGE All carry-on baggage shall be stowed either in the overhead lockers or under the seat in front of you. Do not stow anything under your feet or in the exit rows. In the event of an emergency evacuation, leave everything behind and evacuate as quickly as possible. If cabin baggage exceeds the permitted size or weight, it must be checked in with your other baggage. Do not leave valuables behind during transit stops, and ch V6
