Potentially explosive atmospheres
Switch off your phone if you are in any area that has a potentially
explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
You are advised to switch off the phone while at a refueling point (service
station). You also are reminded of the need to observe restrictions
regarding 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. These areas include the following: 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 could be dangerous and might
invalidate any warranty that could apply to the unit.
Regularly check 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 accessories.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates
with great force. Do not place objects, including both the installed or the
portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. If the in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
