Only qualified personnel should service the device or install the device in a vehicle.
Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty that
may apply to the device. Check regularly that all wireless device 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 device, its parts, or
enhancements. For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that air bags inflate
with great force. Do not place objects, including 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.
Using your device while flying in aircraft is prohibited. Switch off your device before
boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless teledevices in an aircraft may be dangerous
to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network, and may
be illegal.

Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and
obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres include areas where
you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Switch off the
device at refueling points such as near gas pumps at service stations. Observe restrictions
on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, 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 and areas where the air contains chemicals
or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders. You should check with the
manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane)
to determine if this device can be safely used in their vicinity.
