For your safety
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 when at a refuelling
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:
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles (e.g. electronic fuel injection
systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems,
electronic speed control systems, air bag systems). Check with the
manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You
should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has
been added to your vehicle.
