65 General Information
(cont.)
• Aircraft
Turn your radio OFF before boarding any aircraft.
• Use it on the ground only with crew permission.
• Do not use in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a
crew member to use your radio while the plane is on the ground. To
prevent interference with FCC regulations prohibit using your radio while
the plane is in the air.
• Children
Do not allow children to play with your radio. It is not a toy. Children
could hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye
with the antenna, for example). Children also could damage the radio.
• Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your radio OFF when
in a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "turn off two-way radio."
Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off
explosives.
• Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. It is rare, but your radio 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, and areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal
powders.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle which contains your radio or accessories.
Vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane)
must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a
copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association.
