gas stations, and are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked.
These include fueling areas, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or
metal powders.
Road safety
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an
accident. Using a phone while driving (even with a hands free kit) causes distraction and
can lead to an accident. You must comply with local laws and regulations restricting the
use of wireless devices while driving.
Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World Health
Organisation (WHO) provides the following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any
special precautions for the use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might
choose to limit their own or their children's RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or
using 'hands-free' devices to keep mobile phones away from the head and body.
Further information on this subject can be obtained from the WHO home page

Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do not
contain any metal.

Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your local RF
exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
