Operational Warnings
For vehicle with air bags
Refer to vehicle manufacturer's manual prior to
installation of electronic equipment to avoid
interference with air bag wiring.
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
(Explosive atmospheres refers to hazard classified
locations that may contain hazardous gas, vapors, or
dusts.)
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere unless it is a portable
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.
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.
Blasting Caps and Blasting 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.
