Section 4A: Important Safety Information 183
Important Safety Information
ⅷ Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
Responsible driving practices can be found in the “Smart
Practices While Driving” section of this guide and/or at the
Motorola Web site:
www.motorola.com/callsmart.
Operational Warnings
Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices in public areas,
such as health care facilities or blasting areas.
Automobile Air Bags
Do not place a mobile device in the air bag deployment area.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not
always posted, and can include fueling areas such as below decks
on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, or areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust,
or metal powders.
When you are in such an area, turn off your mobile device, and do
not remove, install, or charge batteries. In such areas, sparks can
occur and cause an explosion or fire.
Damaged Products
If your mobile device or battery has been submerged in water,
punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you
take it to a Motorola Authorized Service Center. Do not attempt
to dry it with an external heat source, such as a microwave oven.
Batteries and Chargers
If jewelry, keys, beaded chains, or other conductive materials
touch exposed battery terminals, this could complete an
electrical circuit (short circuit), become very hot, and could cause
damage or injury. Be careful when handling a charged battery,
particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other
container with metal objects. Use only Motorola Original batteries
and chargers.
