Operational Warnings
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 esp ecially 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 con-
tains 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 atmo-
spheres 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 o ff 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.
