Safety and General Information
Radios must ship from the Motorola manufacturing facility with the
hazardous atmosphere capability and FM Approval labeling. Radios
will not be “upgraded” to this capability and labeled in the field.
A modification changes the unit’s hardware from its original design
configuration. Modifications can only be made by the original product
manufacturer at one of its FMRC-audited manufacturing facilities.
• Do not operate radio communications
equipment in a hazardous atmosphere unless it
is a type especially qualified (for example,
FMRC Approved) for such use. An explosion or
fire may result.
• Do not operate an FMRC Approved Product in a
hazardous atmosphere if it has been physically
damaged (for example, cracked housing). An
explosion or fire may result.
• Do not replace or charge batteries in a
hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may
occur while installing or removing batteries and
cause an explosion or fire.
• Do not replace or change accessories in a
hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may
occur while installing or removing accessories
and cause an explosion or fire.

place when accessories are not used.
