The operator of any mobile should be aware of certain hazards common to the
operation of vehicular radio transmission.
A list of possible hazards are:
1.
Explosive Atmospheres
Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehicle with the motor running, be sure to
turn the radio off while fueling the vehicles. Do not carry containers of fuel
in the trunk of the vehicle when the radio is mounted in the trunk.
2.
Interference to Vehicular Electronics Systems
Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid braking systems, etc.,
are typical of the type of electronic devices that may malfunction due to the
lack of protection from radio frequency energy present when transmitting.
If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of
the vehicle and enlist his aid in determining if such electronics circuits
perform normally when the radio is transmitting.
3.
Dynamite Blasting Caps
Dynamite blasting caps may be caused to explode by operating a radio
within 500 feet of the blasting caps. Always obey the " Turn Off Two Way
Radios" signs posted where dynamite is being used. When transporting
blasting caps in your vehicle:
a.
Carry the blasting caps in a closed metal box with a soft lining.
b. Leave the radio OFF whenever the blasting caps are being put into or
removed from the vehicle.
4.
Radio Frequency Energy
To prevent burns or related physical injury from radio frequency energy, do
not operate the transmitter when anyone outside of the vehicle is within two
feet of the antenna.
