Safety Information
•
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions or regulations so
require.
Operational Warnings
WARNING:
For vehicles with an air bag, refer to the manual of the vehicle manufacturer
before installation of electronic equipment to avoid interference with air bag
wiring.
Do not mount or place a radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags
inflate with great force. If a 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 (explosive atmospheres refers to hazard
classified locations that may contain hazardous gas, vapors, or dusts)
Turn off your radio before entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio
type especially qualified for use in such areas as "Intrinsically Safe" (such as Factory Mutual, CSA, UL,
CENELEC, or ATEX 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 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. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not
always posted.
Blasting Caps And Blasting Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio 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.
For radios installed in vehicles fueled by liquefied petroleum gas, refer to the (U.S.) National Fire
Protection Association standard, NFPA 58, for storage, handling, and/or container information. For a
copy of the liquefied petroleum standard, NFPA 58, contact the National Fire Protection Association,
One Battery Park, Quincy, MA.
Operational Cautions
CAUTION:
Antennas
Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact
with your skin, a minor burn can result.
Batteries
If a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed battery terminals, it
can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns. The conductive material may complete
an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery,
particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.
