Warnings for Radios Approved as Intrinsically Safe
Radios must ship from the Motorola manufacturing facility with the hazardous
atmosphere capability and the intrinsic safety approval labelling (FM, UL, CSA,
CENELEC). Radios will not be upgraded to this capability and labeled once they
have been shipped to the field.
A modification changes the unit’s hardware from its original design configuration.
Modifications can only be made by the original product manufacturer.
• 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.
• Turn the radio off before removing or installing a battery or
accessory.
• DO NOT disassemble an intrinsically safe product in any way
that exposes the internal circuits of the unit.
• Failure to use an intrinsically safe approved battery or
Approved accessories specifically approved for the radio unit
may result in the dangerously unsafe condition of an
unapproved radio combination being used in a hazardous
location.
• Unauthorized or incorrect modification of the intrinsically safe
approved Product will negate the approval rating of the
product.
• Incorrect repair or relabeling of any intrinsically safe Agency-
approved radio could adversely affect the Approval rating of
the unit.
• Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a hazardous
atmosphere could result in serious injury or death.
