Operational Warnings
For Vehicle with Air Bags:
Refer to vehicle manufacturer's manual prior to installation of electronic equipment to
avoid interference with air bag wiring.
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable 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
(Explosive atmospheres refer to hazard classified locations that may contain hazardous
gas, vapors, or dusts.) Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere unless it is a portable radio type especially qualified for use in
such areas as Intrinsically Safe (for example, Factory Mutual, CSA, UL, or CENELEC).
Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. 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 fueling
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.
