Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked.  They include 
fueling areas such as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage 
facilities; vehicle 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. 
 

For vehicle equipped with an air bag 
 

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. 
 

Battery care 
 

The phone’s battery stores a large amount of energy when fully charges.  If the battery is punctured, 
crushed, severely overheated, or charged in a non-approved charger, this energy can be released 
suddenly and result in potential injury. 
 

 

Do not overheat the battery by leaving it on a heater or in the sun. 

 

Do not dispose of the battery in a trash compactor or incinerator. 

 

Only use approved charging accessories.   Discontinue use of any battery if it becomes damaged. 

Other safety issues 
 

In order to avoid the potential for confusing the phone as a weapon, the phone features a distinctive 
orange dot on the top of the antenna. 

 

Tis orange dot is a convention used by manufacturers of various devices and is familiar to safety 
officers in the country of manufacture and other countries. 

 

Do not remove or cover the dot, and avoid using or handling the phone is a threating manner or 
so as to suggest that the phone is a weapon.
