Safety Information

Every radio, when transmitting, radiates energy into the atmosphere which
may, under certain conditions, cause the generation of a spark.
All users of vehicles fitted with radios should be aware of the following
warnings:
Do not operate radio near flammable liquids or in the vicinity of explosive
devices.
To ensure personal safety, please observe the following simple rules:
Check the laws and regulations on the use of two-way mobile radios in the
areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your radio while
driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving,
• Use hands-free operation, if available and
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR BAGS
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including
communication equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. If the communication equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates, this could cause serious injury.
Installation of vehicle communication equipment should be performed by a
professional installer/technician qualified in the requirements for such
installations.
An air bag's size, shape and deployment area can vary by vehicle make, model
and front compartment configuration (e.g., bench seat vs. bucket seats).
Contact the vehicle manufacturer's corporate headquarters, if necessary, for
specific air bag information for the vehicle make, model and front
compartment configuration involved in your communication equipment
installation.
It is mandatory that radios installed in vehicles fuelled by liquefied petroleum
gas conform to the National Fire Protection Association standard NFPA 58,
which applies to vehicles with a liquid propane (LP) gas container in the trunk
or other sealed off space within the interior of the vehicle. The NFPA58
requires the following:
• Any space containing radio equipment shall be isolated by a seal from the
