Operational Warnings

For Vehicles With an Air Bag

! !
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
W A R N I N G
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

Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, unless it is a 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.
NOTE: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include

Blasting Caps and Blasting Areas

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

Antennas

!
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.
C a u t i o n

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a
conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches 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.
April 15, 2002
fueling areas such as below decks 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.
