Driving and Operation of Other Motor Vehicles
The use of any wireless device, including a satellite telephone, may cause
distraction. Discontinue a call if you cannot concentrate on driving. Check
the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them. Many local governments prohibit the
use of mobile telephones while driving. Observe the following guidelines
when using your phone while driving:
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when
in a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio. " Obey all
signs and instructions.
Potential Explosive Atmospheres
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but
not always clearly marked. They include, but are not limited to:
fueling areas such as gasoline stations; below deck on boats;
fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where fuel
odors are present (for example, if a gas/propane leak occurs in
an automobile or home); areas where the air contains chemicals
or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any
other area where you normally would be advised to turn off
your vehicle engine.
Turn your phone OFF and do not remove, install or charge your
battery when you are in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Obey all signs and instructions. Sparks from your
battery in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting
in bodily injury or even death.
Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipment is subject to interference from RF energy from
external sources if inadequately shielded. In some circumstances your
mobile device may cause interference with other devices. Turn off your
phone in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so.
