Operational Warnings
For Vehicles with an Air Bag
Do not place a portable phone in the area over an air bag or in the air
bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable
phone is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates,
the phone may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury
to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your phone prior to entering any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere, unless it is a phone 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.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your
phone when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or
in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and
instructions.
