Explosive atmospheres
When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where flammable
materials exist, the product should be turned off and the user should 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 not to use the equipment at refueling points, such as service
or gas stations, and are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked.
These include fueling areas, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or
metal powders.
Road safety
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an
accident. Using a phone while driving (even with a hands-free kit) causes distraction and
can lead to an accident. You must comply with local laws and regulations restricting the
use of wireless devices while driving.
Safety precautions for RF exposure
•
Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of a
building).
•
Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as microwave
ovens, sound speakers, TV, and radio.
•
Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories or accessories that do not
contain any metal.
•
Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your local RF
exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
