Special conditions when using

IS/NI radios

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! Use only a Tait-

supplied, IS/NI approved battery and charger with an

IS/NI radio. Fitting a battery or using a charger that is

not IS/NI-approved 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 in a hazardous location. An explosion could

cause serious injury or death.

For detailed information about IS/NI radios and

accessories, refer to the Safety and Compliance
