Safety and General Information
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.
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, 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. 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.
