Potentially explosive
environments
Switch off your device in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Obey all posted instructions. Sparks

bodily injury or death. Switch off the device at refuelling
points such as near gas pumps at service stations. Observe
restrictions in fuel depots, storage, and distribution areas;
chemical plants; or where blasting operations are in

areas where you would be advised to turn off your vehicle
engine, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage
facilities and where the air contains chemicals or particles
such as grain, dust, or metal powders. You should check
