Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your
phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs
indicating that two-way radios should be turned off.
Construction crews often use remote-control RF phones to
set off explosives.
Turn off your phone when you are in an area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it is rare, your
phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks
could cause an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly
marked. These areas include:
• Fueling areas such as gas stations.
• Below deck on boats.
• Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
• Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such
as grain, dust or metal powders.
• Any other area where you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle’s engine.
Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or
explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that
contains your phone or accessories.
Restricting Children’s Access to your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to
play with it because they could hurt themselves and others,
damage the phone, dial 911 by mistake or make calls that
increase your phone bill.
Warning Regarding Display
The display on your handset is made of glass or acrylic and
could break if your handset is dropped or if it receives
significant impact. Do not use if screen is broken or cracked
as this could cause injury to you.
