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). And, you 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 may
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 its 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.
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,
may disrupt the wireless telephone network, and may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions could lead to the suspension or the
denial of telephone services to the offender, or it could result in legal action,
or both scenarios could apply.
