Warnings for Radios Approved as Intrinsically Safe
Radios must ship from the Unication manufacturing facility with the hazardous atmosphere
capability and the intrinsic safety approval labeling (FM, UL, CSA, CENELEC). Radios will not
be upgraded to this capability and labeled once they have been shipped to the field.
A modification changes the unit’s hardware from its original design configuration.
Modifications can only be made by the original product manufacturer.

• Do not operate radio communications equipment in a hazardous
atmosphere unless it is a type especially qualified (for example, FM, UL,
CSA, or CENELEC approved). An explosion or fire may result.
• Do not operate a radio unit that has been approved as intrinsically safe
product in a hazardous atmosphere if it has been physically damaged (for
example, cracked housing). An explosion or fire may result.
• Do not replace or charge batteries in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact
sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an
explosion or fire.
