Operational Warnings
For Vehicles with an Air Bag
Do not mount or place a mobile radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. Air bags inflate with great force.
If a 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
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. 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 include fueling areas such as below decks
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. Areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres are often, but not always, posted.
Blasting Caps and Blasting Areas
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.
For radios installed in vehicles fueled by liquefied petroleum gas, refer to the (U.S.) National
Fire Protection Association standard, NFPA 58, for storage, handling, and/or container infor-
mation. For a copy of the LP-gas standard, NFPA 58, contact the National Fire Protection As-
sociation, One Battery Park, Quincy, MA.
