explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury
or even death.
Note: Areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres include fueling areas such as
below decks on boats, fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities, 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.
Areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres are often but not always
posted.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with
blasting operations, turn OFF your phone
when you are near electrical blasting caps,
in a blasting area, or in areas posted:
“Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs
and instructions.
Operational Cautions
Antennas
Do not use any portable phone that has a
damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes into contact with your skin, a minor
burn can result.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage
and/or bodily injury such as burns if a
conductive material such as jewelry, keys,
or beaded chains touches exposed
terminals. The conductive material may
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit)
and become quite hot. Exercise care in
handling any charged battery, particularly
when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or
other container with metal objects.
