Safety and General Information
Operational Warnings
For Vehicles With an Air Bag
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
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). 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.
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 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.
