SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 GENERAL
Please read carefully through the following information concerning safety and proper use. Make yourself
familiar with all functions of the device. Keep this manual on a safe place for future use.
3.2 BURNING INJURIES
• If the cover of the antenna is damaged, do not touch because when an antenna comes in contact
with the skin, a minor burn may result when transmitting.
• Batteries can cause property damage such as burns if conductive material such as jewellery, keys
or beaded chains touches exposed terminals.The material may complete an electrical circuit (short
circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when plac-
ing it inside a pocket, purse or other container with metal objects.
3.3 PERSONAL SAFETY
• Do not place your device in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags
inflate with great force. If a communicator is placed in the bag deployment area and the air bag
inflates, the communicator may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to the occu-
pants of the vehicle.
• Keep the radio at least 15 centimetres away from a pacemaker.
• Turn your radio OFF as soon as interference is taking place with medical equipment.
• Do not replace batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while
installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.
• Turn your communicator off when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in
such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
• Never throw batteries in fire as they may explode.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include fuelling areas such as below deck 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.
