Operational Cautions for Hazardous Locations Radio Equipment
Radios must ship from a Motorola manufacturing facility with the Hazardous
Locations approved design and label (FM, UL, CSA, ATEX, IECEx). 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 Approved certified design
configuration. Modifications can only be done by the original product
manufacturer.
Further warnings and instructions for the safe use of radios in Hazardous
Locations can be found in the specific Hazardous Locations safety manual.
DO NOT operate radio communications equipment in a hazardous
atmosphere unless it is a type especially certified (for example, FM,
UL, CSA, ATEX, or IECEx). The use of non-Approved unit could
result in an unsafe condition.
DO NOT operate a radio unit that has been approved for use in
Hazardous Locations if it has been physically damaged (for example,
cracked housing). This could result in an unsafe condition.
DO NOT replace or charge batteries in a hazardous atmosphere.
Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries.
DO NOT use the radio in Hazardous Locations other than the
permitted classification it is rated to.
