For your safety
Before using your radio, please read the following
important safety and compliance information.
Intrinsically Safe and Non-Incendive
radios and accessories
Intrinsically Safe (IS) and Non-Incendive (NI) radios and
accessories are certified by a third party to be safe to use
in particular hazardous locations, or in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
Warning Explosion hazard! IS/NI certification applies
only while the product is used in accordance with these
instructions.
Warning Explosion hazard! Ensure that the ratings
printed on a label on the equipment will permit your IS/NI
radio and accessories to be used in your hazardous
location. Refer also to
"Rating matching" on page 15 .
Warning Explosion hazard! Use only a Tait-supplied,
IS/NI-approved battery, charger, antenna, audio
accessory, carry accessory or programming adapter with
an IS/NI radio. Fitting a battery or accessory that is not IS/
NI-approved, using a charger that is not IS/NI-approved,
or failing to use the IS/NI programming adapter, creates a
risk of explosion which could cause serious injury or
death. For an up-to-date list of approved accessories,
contact your regional Tait office.
Warning Explosion hazard! Do not charge the
battery, or change the antenna, in a hazardous location.
An explosion could cause serious injury or death.
Warning Explosion hazard! You must use a battery
carry case when carrying a spare battery into a hazardous
area.
