Protect devices from damage and do not use damaged devices for charging.
Do not charge power banks from the aircraft's in-seat power supply.
Do not use power banks to charge devices during taxiing, takeoff, and landing.
Immediately inform the cabin crew of any signs of overheating or damage to a device, as well as if a device gets stuck or jammed in a seat.

During the flight, we ask that you do not use power banks to charge other electronic devices. Charging power banks in the aircraft cabin is prohibited throughout the entire flight.
