this device.

 

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Do not use your device in any area with a potentially 
explosive atmosphere, and comply with all signs and 
instructions. Areas that may have potentially 
explosive atmospheres include the areas where you 
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle

cause an explosion or a fire, resulting in bodily 
injuries or even deaths. Do not use your device at 
refueling points such as service stations. Comply with 
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel

plants. In addition, adhere to restrictions in areas 
where blasting operations are in progress. Before 
using the device, watch out for areas that have 
potentially explosive atmospheres that are often, but 
not always, clearly marked. Such locations include 
areas below the deck on boats, chemical transfer or 
storage facilities, and areas where the air contains 
chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal 
powders. Ask the manufacturers of vehicles using 
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) 
whether this device can be safely used in their 
vicinity.

device. To prevent accidents, do not use your 
wireless device while driving.

• RF signals may affect electronic systems of motor 

vehicles. For more information, consult the vehicle 
manufacturer.

• In a motor vehicle, do not place the device over the air 

bag or in the air bag deployment area. Otherwise, the
