Protecting your hearing when using a headset
•
To prevent possible hearing damage, do
not listen at high volume levels for long periods.
• Using a headset at high volumes may damage your
hearing. To reduce this risk, lower the headset
volume to a safe and comfortable level.
• Exposure to high volumes while driving may cause
distraction and increase your risk of an accident.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Power off your device in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere, and comply with all signs and
instructions. Areas that may have potentially explosive
atmospheres include the areas where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Triggering of sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or a fire, resulting in bodily injuries or even
deaths. Do not power on your device at refueling
points such as service stations. Comply with
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel
depots, storage, and distribution areas, and chemical
plants. In addition, adhere to restrictions in areas
where blasting operations are in progress. Before
using the device, watch out for areas that have
potentially explosive atmospheres that are often, but
not always, clearly marked. Such locations include
areas below the deck on boats, chemical transfer or
storage facilities, and areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal
powders. Ask the manufacturers of vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane)
whether this device can be safely used in their vicinity.
