Reference information
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Switch off your phone 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 property and/or bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised to switch off the phone when at a refuelling point (service
station). Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants, or
where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly
marked. They include below deck on boats; chemical transfer or storage facilities;
vehicles using liquefied 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.
Vehicles
Only qualified personnel should service the phone or install the phone in a vehicle.
Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty
which may apply to the unit.
Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in your vehicle is mounted and
operating properly.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same
compartment as the phone, its parts or enhancements.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates with great
force.
Do not place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment in the
area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could
result.
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch off your phone
before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless telephones in an aircraft may be
dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network,
and may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of telephone
services to the offender, legal action or both.
