Safety Information
WARNING:
•
Do not operate radio communications equipment in a hazardous atmosphere unless it is a
type especially qualified (such as FM, UL, CSA, CENELEC, or ATEX approved). An
explosion or fire may result.
•
Do not operate a radio unit that has been approved as intrinsically safe product in a
hazardous atmosphere if it has been physically damaged (for example, cracked housing).
An explosion or fire may result.
•
Do not replace or charge batteries in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur
while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion or fire.
•
Do not replace or change accessories in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may
occur while installing or removing accessories and cause an explosion or fire.
•
Turn off the radio before removing or installing a battery or accessory.
•
Do not disassemble an intrinsically safe product in any way that exposes the internal circuits
of the unit.
•
Failure to use an intrinsically safe approved battery or approved accessories for the radio
unit may result in the dangerously unsafe condition of an unapproved radio combination
being used in a hazardous location.
•
Unauthorized or incorrect modification of the intrinsically safe approved product negates the
approval rating of the product.
•
Incorrect repair or relabeling of any intrinsically safe agency-approved radio could adversely
affect the approval rating of the unit.
•
Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a hazardous atmosphere could result in serious
injury or death.
Do Not Substitute Options or Accessories
The Motorola Solutions communications equipment certified as intrinsically safe by the approving
agency (FM, UL, CSA, CENELEC, or ATEX) is tested as a complete system which consists of the
listed agency approved portable, approved battery, and approved accessories or options, or both. This
approved portable and battery combination must be strictly observed. There must be no substitution of
items, even if the substitute has been previously approved with a different Motorola Solutions
communications equipment unit. The approving agency (FM, UL, CSA, CENELEC, or ATEX) lists all
the approved configurations.
The Intrinsically Safe Approval Label affixed to the radio refers to the intrinsically safe classification of
that radio product, and the approved batteries that can be used with that system.
The manual part number referenced on the Intrinsically Safe Approval Label identifies the approved
accessories and/or options that can be used with that portable radio unit.
Using a non-Motorola Solutions intrinsically safe battery and/or accessory with the Motorola Solutions
approved radio unit voids the intrinsically safe approval of that radio unit.
Repair
A repair constitutes something done internally to the unit that would bring it back to its original
condition.
Repairs for Motorola Solutions products with intrinsically safe approval are the responsibility of the
user. Repairs to a Motorola Solutions FM approved radio product should only be done at a location that
has been FM audited under the FM 3605 repairs and service standard. Contact Motorola Solutions for
assistance regarding repairs and service of Motorola Solutions intrinsically safe equipment.
