Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your Personal Communicator prior to entering any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is especially qualified for use in
such areas as "Intrinsically Safe" (for example, Factory Mutual, CSA, or
UL 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.
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 Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your
Personal Communicator 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.
Operational Cautions
Antennas
Do not use the Personal Communicator if it has a damaged antenna.
If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn
can result.
