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 while at a
refueling 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
Only qualified personnel should service the phone, or
install the phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or
service may be dangerous and may invalidate any
warranty which may apply to the unit.
Check regularly that all mobile phone equipment on
your vehicle is mounted and operating properly.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or
explosive materials in the same compartment as the
phone, its parts or accessories.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that
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.
Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft. The
use of mobile phones in an aircraft may be dangerous
to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless
telephone network and may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the
suspension or denial of telephone services to the
offender, or legal action, or both.
