4.3 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 occupants 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.
4.4 Poisoning danger
• Keep batteries away from small children
4.5 Legal
