an explosion or fire resulting in injury or even death.

NOTE: Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as below deck 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.

Blasting Caps and Areas

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

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

Your Oricom two-way radio complies with Australian Communications Authority Radio communications (Electromagnetic Radiation-Human Exposure) Standard, 2003.

To assure optimal radio performance and make sure human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set out in the above standards always adhere to the following procedures.

Transmit and Receive Procedure

Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the general population/uncontrolled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedure:

Transmit no more than 50% of the time.

To receive calls, release the PTT button.

To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (PTT) button.

Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring standards compliance).

Always hold the radio approximately 5cm in front of your mouth with the antenna pointing away from your head.
