Note: Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating 
instructions, since improper adjustment of other controls may 
result in damage and will often require extensive work by a 
qualified technician to restore the product to normal condition.

Potentially explosive environments

Switch off your device 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. Switch off the device near gas pumps at service stations. 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, 
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. 

Additional safety information

Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out of 
the reach of small children.
