OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
For Vehicles With Air Bags
Do not mount or place a mobile radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a 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.
Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fuelling areas
such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and 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.
For radios installed in vehicles fueled by liquefied petroleum gas, refer to the (U.S.)
National Fire Protection Association standard, NFPA 58, for storage, handling, and/or
container information. For a copy of the LP-gas standard, NFPA 58, contact the National
Fire Protection Association, One Battery Park, Quincy, MA.
