Antenna Care and Replacement
Do not use the FWT with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes
into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Have your antenna
replaced by a qualified technician immediately. Use only a manufacturer-
approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments
could damage the FWT and will void the Grant of Type Acceptance.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy
from cellular devices may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manu-
facturer or its representative to determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RF energy. You should also check with the manufacturer
of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemak-
ers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded from exter-
nal RF energy.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your RAYCOM Cellular OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. It is rare, but your RAYCOM or its accessories could generate
sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily
injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly
marked. They include fueling areas such as gas stations; 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.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the area of
your RAYCOM Cellular or accessories.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must com-
