Safety and General Information

Operational Warnings

For Vehicles with an Air Bag

Do not place the Personal Communicator in the area over an air
bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with
great force. If the Personal Communicator is placed in the air bag
deployment area and the air bag inflates, the Personal
Communicator may be propelled with great force and cause
serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your Personal Communicator prior to entering any area

with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is 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.
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.

Blasting Caps and Areas

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