192 Health and Safety
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 below deck on
boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liqueed 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. Vehicles using
liqueed 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.
When your Device is Wet
Do not turn on your device if it is wet. If your device is already on, turn it off and
remove the battery immediately (if the device will not turn off or you cannot
remove the battery, leave it as-is). Then, dry the device with a towel and take it to
a service center.
