Intrinsically Safe Radio Information
The Intrinsically safe approval unit refers to a product that has been approved as
intrinsically safe by an approval agency (for example FM Approvals, CSA, UL, or
Cenelec) and certifies that a particular product meets the Agency's applicable
intrinsic safety standards for specific types of hazardous classified locations. A
portable radio that has been approved for intrinsic safety will have Approval label
attached to the radio to identify the unit as being Approved for specified
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.
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
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.
