Following safety guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special
regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is
forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger. All wireless phones
may be subject to radio interference, which may affect their performance.
Turning off your phone in dangerous
areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your phone when in a
blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating that two-way radios should
be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off
explosives.
Turn off your phone when you’re in any area that has a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone or its accessories could generate
sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include:
• Fueling areas such as gas stations
• Below deck on boats
• Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities
• Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or
metal powders
• Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine
