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.
