For Vehicles with Airbags

Do not place a portable wireless device 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 device may be propelled with great force and
cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your device prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere,
unless it is a device 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 pow-
ders, 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.

Blasting Caps and Areas

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your device 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.

Antennas

Do not use any portable wireless device 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 jewelry, 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.
