OPERATIONAL
WARNINGS
For Vehicles With an Air Bag
Do not mount or place a mobile radio in the area over an air bag or in
the air 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 potentially
explosive atmosphere, unless it is a portable radio type especially
qualified for use in such areas (for example Factory Mutual
Approved). Do not remove, install, or charge batteries ins 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 atmosphere
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.
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.
