OPERATIONAL CAUTIONSDamaged Antennas

Do not use any portable radio product that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The conductive 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.

 

Operational Warnings

Warning

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

 

Turn off your radio product when you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio product type especially qualified for use in such areas (for example, Factory Mutual Approved). Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury, or even death.

NOTE: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fueling areas such as: below decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always posted.

Batteries

Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.

Blasting Caps and Areas

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio product when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag

Do NOT place objects, including both installed and portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. An air bag inflates with great force. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
