Operational Warnings
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your Communicator when you are in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a type especially
qualified for use in such areas (for example, Factory Mutual
Approved). Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
N
OTE:
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred
to 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.
Batteries
Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or
removing batteries and cause an explosion.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off
your 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.
