Potentially Explosive Environments
Switch your mobile device off when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or re resulting in bodily injury or even death. Users are advised to switch the
mobile device off while at a refueling point (service station).
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.

center.
