Potentially explosive
environments
Switch off your device in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Obey all posted instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in 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 progress. Areas with a
potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include 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 with
