Turn your radio OFF in health care facilities when any regulations

posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health

care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to

external RF energy.
Vehicles—RF signals may affect improperly installed or

inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check

with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle.

You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that

has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities—Turn your radio OFF in any facility where

posted notices so require.
Commercial Aircraft—Many commercial airlines prohibit the use

of FRS radios on board. Switch OFF your radio before boarding an

aircraft or check the airline rules.
Blasting Areas—To avoid interfering with blasting operations,

turn your radio OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted:

“Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres—Turn your radio OFF

and do not remove your battery when you are in any area with a

potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and instructions.

Sparks from your battery in such areas could cause an explosion or

fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not

always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline

stations, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage

facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane

or butane); 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.
