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.
