Damaged Antennas

Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes in contact
with the skin, a minor burn may result.

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily, injury or burns if a conductive
material such as jewelry, 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.

For Vehicles With an Air Bag

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 vehicle.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless
it is a type especially qualified for such use (for example, Factory Mutual Approved).
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death. These radios are not Instrinsically Safe. If you need an Instrinsically Safe radio,
contact Motorola at 1-888-567-7347.

Batteries

Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact
sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.

Blasting Caps and Areas

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your radio OFF near
electrical blasting caps or in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way
radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.

Note: 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.
