Potentially Explosive Environments
Switch off your phone 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.
Users are advised to switch off the phone while at a
refueling point (service station). Users are reminded of the
need to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment
in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical
plants or where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but
not always clearly marked. They include the areas below
deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles
using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane),
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.
