The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of certain hazards
common to the operation of vehicular radio transmissions.
A list of the 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 vehicle. Do Not carry con-
tainers of fuel in the trunk of the vehicle when the radio is mounted
in the trunk.
2. Interference To Vehicular Electronic Systems
Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid breaking sys-
tems, electronic cruise control systems, etc., are typical of the types
of electronic devices that may malfunction due to the lack of protec-
tion from radio frequency energy present when transmitting. If the
vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of
vehicle and enlist his aid in determining if such electronic circuits
perform normally when the radio is transmitting.
3.
Dynamite Blasting Caps
Dynamite blasting caps may be caused to explode by operating a ra-
dio within 500 feet of the blasting caps. Always obey the "Turn Off
Two Way Radio" 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 en-
ergy, do not operate the transmitter when anyone outside of the vehi-
cle is within two feet of the antenna.
Before jump starting or changing the vehicle battery, it is strongly sug-
gested that the 3A fuse located in the Yellow lead (IGN A+) be removed.
This will insure that the radio is protected from damage during the bat-
tery charging process. Replace fuse when charging is completed.
