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 devices to
set off explosives.
Turn off your phone when you’re in any area that has a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Although it’s 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. They 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, just or metal powders.
ᮣ Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn
off your vehicle’s engine.
Note: 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
or make calls that increase your phone bill.
