IMPORTANT OPERATING INFORMATION
5
Children - Do not let children play with this transceiver. They could
injure themselves (by poking themselves in the eye with the antenna, for
example). In addition, they could damage the transceiver or make calls
that increase your bill.
Usage in Blasting Areas - To avoid interference with blasting operations,
be sure to turn the transceiver off in areas posted “Blasting Area” or
“Turn Off Two-Way Radio”. Remote controlled RF devices are some-
times used to set off explosives.
Operation in Explosive Atmospheres - Turn the transceiver off when in
an area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although rare, the trans-
ceiver could generate a spark or a hot surface that could cause an explo-
sion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Operation in Flammable Atmospheres - Areas with potentially flam-
mable atmospheres are usually, but not always, clearly posted. These
areas may include fueling areas such as gas stations, fuel or chemical
storage and transfer stations, below deck on boats, and areas where the air
contains flammable chemicals or particles such as grain dust or metal
powders. Do not use or transport the transceiver in any atmosphere or
compartment potentially containing flammable gas, liquids, or
explosives.
