Operational Warnings
For Vehicle with Air Bags
!
Refer to vehicle manufacturer's manual
WARNING
prior to installation of electronic
equipment to avoid interference with air
bag wiring.
Do not place a portable radio in the area
over an air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. Air bags inflate with
great force. If a portable radio is placed
in the air bag deployment area and the
air bag inflates, the radio may be
propelled with great force and cause
serious injury to occupants of the
vehicle.
Potentially Explosive
!
Atmospheres
WARNING
(Explosive atmospheres refer to hazard
classified locations that may contain
hazardous gas, vapors, or dusts.)
Turn off your radio prior to entering any
area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere unless it is a portable radio
type especially qualified for use in such
areas as Intrinsically Safe (for example,
Factory Mutual, CSA, UL, or CENELEC).
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, and areas where the
air contains chemicals or particles such
as grain, dust or metal powders. Areas
with potentially explosive atmospheres
are often, but not always, posted.
