| Radio Antenna |
Do not use any radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and violate compliance. Do NOT change or modify the antenna.
Do NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE.” Holding the antenna reduces range and may cause bodily harm.
Safety and general use whilst in a vehicle
Check the State and Federal laws and regulations regarding the use of two way radios in the area where you drive, and always obey them.
For Vehicles fitted with Air Bags
Do not place your radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.
Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.
