Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas,
modifications or attachments could cause damage to the radio unit and may
violate FCC regulations. (Refer to Table 7-1: Options and Accessories.)
3.1.2 Electronic Devices
CAUTION
RF energy from portable radios may affect some electronic equipment. Most modern
electronic equipment in cars, hospitals, homes, etc. are shielded from RF energy.
However, in areas in which you are instructed to turn off two-way radio equipment,
always observe the rules. If in doubt, turn it off!
3.1.3 Aircraft
Always turn off a portable radio before boarding any aircraft!
• Use it on the ground only with crew permission.
• DO NOT use while in-flight!!
3.1.4 Electric Blasting Caps
To prevent accidental detonation of electric blasting caps, DO NOT use two-way
radios within 1000 feet of blasting operations. Always obey the "Turn Off Two-
Way Radios" signs posted where electric blasting caps are being used. (OSHA
Standard: 1926.900)
3.1.5 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, clearly
marked. These may be fuelling areas, such as gas stations, fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury
or even death.
Turn OFF two-way radios when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. It is rare, but not impossible that a radio or its accessories could
generate sparks.
