Safety and General Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the area where you drive. Always
obey them.
When using your radio while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving and to the road.
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
Operational Warnings
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 the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
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, or UL 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.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fueling
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, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always
posted.
