Safety Information
 
Aircraft
 
Airline regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air.
Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft. 
 
Blasting Areas
 
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when 
in a blasting area or in areas posted: 
 
 
Turn off two-way radios.
 
 
Obey all signs and instructions.
 
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
 
Turn your phone OFF and do not remove your battery when you are in 
any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and 
instructions. Sparks from your battery in such areas could cause an 
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always 
clearly marked. They include, but are not limited to: fueling areas such 
as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or 
storage facilities; areas where fuel odors are present (for example, if a 
gas/propane leak occurs in a car or home); areas where the air 
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; 
and any other area where you normally would be advised to turn off 
your vehicle engine.
 
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
 
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including 
both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air 
bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment 
is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could 
result.
