OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
For Vehicles With Air Bags
Refer to vehicle manufacturer's manual prior to
installation of electronic equipment to avoid
interference with air bag wiring.
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag
or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with
great force. If a portable radio is placed in the air bag
deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may
be propelled with great force and cause serious injury
to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
(Explosive atmospheres refers to hazard classified
locations that may contain hazardous gas, vapors,
or dusts.)
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, CENELEC or ATEX Approved). 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.
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres
referred to above include fuelling areas such as below
decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders. Areas
with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but
not always posted.
Blasting Caps And Blasting 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 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
jewellery, 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.
