OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
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 two-way radio when you are in
any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, unless it is a radio type
especially qualified for use in such areas (for
example, Factory Mutual or CENELEC
approved). Sparks in a potentially explosive
atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Batteries
Do not replace or recharge batteries in a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Battery
contact sparking may occur while installing or
removing batteries and may cause an
explosion.
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.
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 a
vehicle engine. Areas with potentially
explosive atmospheres are often but
not always posted.
