Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive atmos-
phere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause
an explosion or fire resulting in 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 stor-
age facilities; vehicles using liquified petroleum gas (such as propane or bu-
tane); 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 mount-
ed 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 installed or portable wire-
less 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 in-
flates, serious injury could result.
Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless tele-
phones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, dis-
rupt the wireless telephone network and may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of tel-
ephone services to the offender, or legal action or both.
