Operational Warnings

For Vehicles With an Air Bag

Do not place a portable phone in the area over an air bag or in 

the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If 

a portable phone is placed in the air bag deployment area and 

the air bag inflates, the phone may be propelled with great force 

and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your phone prior to entering any area with a potentially 

explosive atmosphere, unless the phone is a model specifically 

identified as being  Intrinsically Safe.  Do not remove, install, or 

charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive 

atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily 

injury or even death.

Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred 

to above 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.
