OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
For Vehicles With an Air Bag
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air
bags inflate with great force. If a portable 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
occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio type
especially qualified for use in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe” (for example, Factory Mutual, CSA, UL, or
CENELEC). Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive
atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio 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
Antennas
Do not use any portable radio 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.
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, and areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders. Areas
with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.
