Blasting Areas
Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives. To avoid
interfering with blasting operation, turn off your phone when you are in a blasting area
or in any area with signs posted as "Turn off two-way radio."
Other Dangerous Areas
Turn off your phone in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but
your phone or its accessories could generate sparks, which could explosion or fire.
* Fueling areas, such as gas stations
* Below deck on boats
* Furl or chemical transfer or storage facilities
* Areas where the air contain chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal
powders
* Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of a
vehicle containing your or accessories.
Certification Information (SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by
the Federal Communications Commission(FCC) of the U.S. government. These FCC
exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the
National Counsel on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were
developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and
academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature related to the biological
effects of RF energy. The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile phones
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR
is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in
units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a
safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates
a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account
