Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all

always, clearly marked. They include below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage
facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), and areas where
the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders.
Follow any restrictions. Do not use the device where blasting is in progress.

If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features off before you can make
an emergency call. Consult this guide or your service provider for more information.
When making an emergency call, give all the necessary information as accurately as possible.
Your wireless device may be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident.
