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.
Traffic Safety

• Do not talk on the device while driving. Use hands-free accessories.
• When you have to make or answer a call, park the vehicle at the road side before
using your device.

consult the vehicle manufacturer.
