4 Safety instructions
4.1 General
Please read carefully through the following information concerning safety
and proper use. Make yourself familiar with all functions of the device.
Keep this manual in a safe place for future use.
4.2 Burning injuries
• If the cover of the antenna is damaged, do not touch because when
an antenna comes in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result
when transmitting.
• Batteries can cause property damage such as burns if conductive
material such as jewellery, keys or beaded chains touches exposed
terminals.The material may complete an electrical circuit (short
circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged
battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse or other
container with metal objects.
4.3 Injuries
• 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 PMR 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 PMR at least 15 centimetres away from a pacemaker.
• Turn your PMR OFF as soon as interference is taking place with
medical equipment.
4.4 Danger of explosion
• Do not replace batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries
and cause an explosion.
• Turn your PMR 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.
4.5 Poisoning danger
• Keep batteries away from small children.
4.6 Legal
• In some countries it is prohibited to use your PMR while driving a
vehicle. In this case leave the road before using the device.
• Turn your PMR OFF when on board an aircraft when instructed to do
so. Any use of the PMR must be in accordance with airline
regulations or crew instructions.
• Turn your PMR OFF in any facilities where posted notices instruct
you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
• Replacing or modifying the antenna may affect the PMR radio
specifications and violate the CE regulations. Unauthorised
antennas could also damage the radio.
