FOR VEHICLES WITH AN AIR BAG
Do not place a portable radio or amplifier in the area over an air bag or in the air
bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable radio or
amplifier is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the
radio or amplifier 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
explosives atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially qualified for use in
such areas (for example, Factory Mutual Approved). Sparks in a potentially
explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death.
Blasting Caps and 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 your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres are often but not always posted.
MOBILE RADIO OPERATION AND EME EXPOSURE
To assure optimal radio performance and that human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines referenced earlier in
this document, transmit only when people inside and outside the vehicle are at
least the minimum distance away from a properly installed, externally-mounted
antenna. For this amplifier that distance is at least two feet.
