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 while 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 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 install the phone in a vehicle, or

service the phone. 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 a wireless phone or any of

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.
Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft. The use of

wireless phones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation

of the aircraft, may disrupt the wireless network, and may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or

denial of wireless telephone services to the offender, or legal

action, or both.
