Motorola i836 manual Operational Cautions, Blasting Caps and Areas, Batteries

Safety and General Information
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.
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.
Operational Cautions	!
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 touches
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. To reduce the risk of injury, batteries should not be exposed to fire, disassembled, or crushed.

Cleaning and Drying Considerations

Using a leather carry case may help protect the surfaces and help prevent liquids (e.g., rain) from entering into the interior of the radio product. This product is not water proof, and exposing the unit to liquids may result in permanent damage to the unit.

If your radio product interior gets wet, then do not try to accelerate drying with the use of an oven or a dryer as this will damage the radio product and void the warranty. Instead, do the following:

1Immediately power off the radio product.

2Remove Battery and SIM card (if so equipped) from radio product.

3Shake excess liquid from radio product.

4Place the radio product and battery in an area that is at room temperature and has good air flow.

5Let the radio product, battery, and SIM card dry for 72 hours before reconnecting the battery

and/or powering on the radio product.
