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, unless
it is a radio type especially qualified for use in
such areas as "Intrinsically Safe" (for example,
Factory Mutual, CSA, UL, or CENELEC). 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.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres referred to above include
fueling areas such as below decks on
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or stor-
age facilities, areas where the air con-
tains 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 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.

OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS

ANTENNAS
!
Do not use any portable radio
that has a damaged antenna. If
C a u t i o n
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 jewelry, 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.
