Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Power off your device in any area with a potentially explosive 
atmosphere, and comply with all signs and instructions. Areas that 
may have potentially explosive atmospheres include the areas 
where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle 
engine. Triggering of sparks in such areas could cause an explosion 
or a fire, resulting in bodily injuries or even deaths. Do not power 
on your device at refueling points such as service stations. Comply 
with restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, 
storage, and distribution areas, and chemical plants. In addition, 
adhere to restrictions in areas where blasting operations are in 
progress. Before using the device, watch out for areas that have 
potentially explosive atmospheres that are often, but not always, 
clearly marked. Such locations include areas below the deck on 
boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the 
air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal 
powders. Ask the manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied 
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) whether this device 
can be safely used in their vicinity.
