8 - Safety and General Information
Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in the area
where you drive. Always obey them.
When using your phone while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving and to the road.
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
Operational Warnings
For Vehicles With an Air Bag
Do not place a phone in the area over an air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a 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 it is a phone type especially qualified
for use in such areas and certified as “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 fuelling 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.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not
always posted.
