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 bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised to switch off the phone when at a refueling 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 liquified 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 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
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.
Aircraft
Using your phone while in the air is prohibited. Switch your phone off
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.
