Blasting Areas - Motorola ST8600 Manual

Safety Information
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit
OFF when in a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn off
two-way radio." Construction crews often use remote control
RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone or its
accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury
or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere 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; and any
other area where you would normally be advised to turn off
your vehicle engine.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives
in the compartment of your vehicle which contains your
phone or accessories.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection
Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the
National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.
