4.3 Burning injuries
• If the cover of the antenna is damaged, do not touch because when an antenna comes
in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result when transmitting.
• Batteries can cause property damage such as burns if conductive material such as
jewellery, keys or beaded chains touches exposed terminals.The 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.
4.4 Injuries
• Do not place your device in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
Air bags inflate with great force. If a PMR is placed in the bag deployment area and the
air bag inflates, the communicator may be propelled with great force and cause serious
injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
• Keep the PMR at least 15 centimetres away from a pacemaker.
• Turn your PMR OFF as soon as interference is taking place with medical equipment.
4.5 Danger of explosion
• Do not replace batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may
occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.
• Turn your PMR off when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in
such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
• Never throw batteries in fire as they may explode.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include fuelling areas such as below deck 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.
4.6 Poisoning danger
• Keep batteries away from small children
