Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a blasting area or
in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction
crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn your phone off when you're in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Although it's rare, your phone and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an
explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include:
Fueling areas such as gas stations.
Below deck on boats.
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal
powders.
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle's engine.
Note:
Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or
explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone
or accessories.
Restricting Children's Access to Your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could hurt themselves
and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase your invoice.
