Turn your radio OFF and do not replace the bat-
tery when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. It is rare, but your radio or its accesso-
ries could generate sparks which might trigger an
explosion.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are
often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include areas such as below deck on boats, fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such
as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or
explosives in the compartment of your vehicle
which contains your radio or accessories.
Vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such
as propane or butane) must comply with the
National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For
a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire
Protection Association. One Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publications Sales Divi-
sion.
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT
place objects, including communication equip-
ment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. If the communication equip-
ment 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 deploy-
ment area can vary by vehicle make, model, and
front compartment configuration (for example,
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 com-
munication equipment installation.
