side of the pacemaker and do not carry the device in your front
pocket.
•
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Power off your device in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, and comply with all signs and instructions. Areas that
may have potentially explosive atmospheres include the areas
where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Triggering of sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or a fire,
resulting in bodily injuries or even deaths. Do not power on your
device at refueling points such as service stations. Comply with
Draft
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and
distribution areas, and chemical plants. In addition, adhere to
restrictions in areas where blasting operations are in progress.
Before using the device, watch out for areas that have potentially
explosive atmospheres that are often, but not always, clearly
marked. Such locations include areas below the deck on boats,
chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal
powders. Ask the manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) whether this device can
be safely used in their vicinity.
