representative of your vehicle or any equipment that has been added.

Only qualified personnel should service the device, or install the device in a
vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any
warranty that may apply to the device. Check regularly that all wireless device
equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or
carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment
as the device, its parts, or enhancements. For vehicles equipped with an air
bag, remember that air bags inflate with great force. Do not place objects,
including installed or portable wireless equipment in the area over the air bag or
in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS

Do not use the device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere
and obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres include
areas where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury
or even death. Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel
depots, storage, and distribution areas, chemical plants or where blasting
operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are
often but not always clearly marked. They include below deck on boats,
chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas
(such as propane or butane), and areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles such as grain, dust or metal powders.

moisture can contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.

• Do not use or install the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and

electronic components can be damaged.

• Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life

of electronic devices and warp or melt certain plastics.

• Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal
