Operational Cautions

Antennas
!
Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged
antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact
C a u t i o n
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
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.

Intrinsically Safe Radio Information

FMRC Approved Equipment

Anyone intending to use a radio in a location where hazardous
concentrations of flammable materials exist (hazardous atmosphere)
is advised to become familiar with the subject of intrinsic safety and
with the National Electric Code NFPA 70 (National Fire Protection
Association) Article 500 (hazardous [classified] locations).
An Approval Guide, issued by Factory Mutual Research Corporation
(FMRC), lists manufacturers and the products approved by FMRC for
use in such locations. FMRC has also issued a voluntary approval
standard for repair service ("Class Number 3605").
