OPERATIONAL WARNINGS

For Vehicles With An Air Bag

WARNING: 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 product may be propelled with great force

and cause serious injury to occupants of vehicle.

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 poten-

tially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

WARNING: Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive

atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially qualified for use in such areas as

"Intrinsically Safe" (for example, Factory Mutual, CSA, UL or CENELEC Approved). 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.

Blasting Caps And Areas

WARNING: 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.

Antennas

Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your

skin, a minor burn can result.

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as

jewellery, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical

circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when

placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.
