OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
Vehicles with an air bag
WARNING: Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deploy-
!
ment area. Air bags inßate with great force. If a portable radio is placed in the air bag deploy-
ment area and the air bag inßates, the radio may be propelled with great force and cause
serious injury to occupants of vehicle.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
WARNING: Turn off your Two-Way radio when you are in any area with a potentially explosive
!
atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially qualiÞed for use in such areas (e.g. FM or
Cenelec approved). Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or
Þre resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Batteries
WARNING: Do not replace or recharge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Con-
!
tact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.
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 Ò blasting area Ó or in areas posted Ò turn off two-way
!
radio Ó, obey all signs and instructions.
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fuelling areas such as:
NOTE
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.
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS
Damaged antennas
CAUTION: Do not use any portable two-way radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged
!
antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
Batteries
CAUTION: All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a
!
conductive material such as jewellry, 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.
