information, check with the manufacturer, or its representative, of your vehicle or any
equipment that has been added. Only qualified personnel should service the device, or
install the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may
invalidate any warranty that may apply to the device. Check regularly that all wireless
equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or carry
flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as the device,
its parts, or enhancements. For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that air
bags inflate with great force. Do not place objects, including 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. Using your device while flying in aircraft is prohibited. Switch off your device
before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless teledevices in an aircraft may be
dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network, and
may be illegal.

EXPLOSIVE
ENVIRONMENTS
Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and
obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres include areas where
you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Switch off the device
at refueling points such as near gas pumps at service stations. Observe restrictions on
the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and distribution areas; chemical
plants; or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include below deck on boats,
chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as
propane or butane), and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as
grain, dust or metal powders. Do not switch the computer on when wireless phone use
is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.
