Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn your phone 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 fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not
always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline
stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; vehicles using liquefied 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.
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.
Battery care
The phone’s battery stores a large amount of energy when fully
charged. If the battery is punctured, crushed, severely overheated,
or charged in a non-QUALCOMM charger, this energy can be
released suddenly and result in potential injury.
■ Do not overheat the battery by leaving it on a heater or in the
sun.
