atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any
area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
Areas with a potentially explosive at-
mosphere are often but not always
clearly marked. They include: fueling
areas such as gasoline stations; be-
low deck on boats; fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities; vehicles
using liquefied petroleum gas (such
as propane or butane); areas where
the air contains chemicals or parti-
cles, such as grain, dust or metal
powders; and any other area where
you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle engine.

Safety precautions
you should never rely solely on any
wireless phone for essential commu-
nications (for example, medical
emergencies). Remember – to make
or receive any calls, the phone must
be switched on and be used in a ser-
vice area that has adequate signal
strength. Emergency calls might not
be possible on all wireless phone
networks or when certain network
services or phone features are in use.
Check with local service providers re-
garding their network features.
Always make certain that your
phone is properly charged before
attempting any emergency calls. If
you allow your battery to discharge,
you will be unable to receive or make
calls, including emergency calls. You
must then wait a few minutes after
the charging begins to place any
emergency calls.
When making an emergency call,
remember to give all of the neces-
sary information as accurately as
possible. Remember that your wire-
less phone might be the only means
of communication at the scene of an
accident, therefore you should not
terminate the call until given permis-
sion to do so.
