Dangerous areas
Potentially explosive atmospheres: Turn off all wireless connections 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 or
petrol 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.
Do not use the phone on the BlackBerry® device to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Leave the area and, if the phone is available
and active on the BlackBerry device, make the call from a safe location.
Blasting areas: To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off all wireless connections when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted:
“Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
