your vehicle engine. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire 
resulting in bodily injury or even death. Switch off the device at refueling points 
such as near gas pumps at service stations. Observe restrictions on the use of 
radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and distribution areas; chemical plants;

petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), and areas where the air contains 
chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders.
