Switch off your device 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 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,

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.
