Safety
Turning off your phone in dangerous areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your phone
when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating that
two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use
remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn off your phone when you’re in any area that has a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your
phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks
could cause an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily
injury or even death. These areas are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include:
•
Fueling areas such as gas stations.
•
Below deck on boats.
•
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
•
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as
grain, dust or metal powders.
•
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn
off your vehicle’s engine.
Note:
Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in
the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or
accessories.
Restricting children’s access to your phone
Your phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with it
because they could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone,
dial 911 by mistake or make calls that increase your phone bill.
