POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn off your Personal Interactive Communicator prior to
entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere,
unless it is a Personal Interactive Communicator type
especially qualified for use in such areas as
"Intrinsically Safe". Do not remove, install, or charge
batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive
atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily
injury or even death.
NOTE:
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres
referred to above include fueling areas such as below decks
on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, 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. Areas
with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not
always posted.
