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
!
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: 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 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
NOTE
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. 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 jewellery, 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.
