Operational Warnings
For Vehicles with an Air Bag
Do not place the Personal Communicator in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. Air bags inflate with great force. If the Personal Communicator is placed in the air bag
deployment area and the air bag inflates, the Personal Communicator may be propelled with great
force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your Personal Communicator prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, unless it is especially qualified for use in such areas as "Intrinsically Safe" (for example,
Factory Mutual, CSA, or UL 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 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
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your Personal Communicator 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 the Personal Communicator if it has a damaged antenna.
If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
Batteries
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.
