Warnings and Precautions

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.
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.
