SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
Vehicles with an air bag
WARNING: Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deploy-
!
ment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable radio is placed in the air bag deploy-
ment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force and cause
serious injury to occupants of vehicle.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
WARNING: Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmo-
!
sphere, unless it is a radio type especially qualified for use in such areas as "Intrinsically
Safe" (for example, Factory Mutual, CSA, UL or CENELEC Approved). 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 fuelling areas such as below decks
NOTE
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. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.
Blasting caps and areas
WARNING: To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when
you are near electrical blasting caps. In a " blasting area" or in areas posted " turn off two-
!
way radio", obey all signs and instructions.
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS
Damaged antennas
CAUTION: Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
!
comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
Batteries
CAUTION: All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a
!
conductive material such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The
conductive 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.
