Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your radio 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. Switch off the radio at refuelling
points such as 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 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.

Emergency calls
Important:
Wireless phones, including this radio, operate using
radio signals, wireless networks, landline networks, and user-
programmed functions. Because of this, connections in all
conditions cannot be guaranteed. You should never rely solely on
any wireless phone for essential communications like medical
emergencies.
To make an emergency call:
1. If the radio is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength.
2. Press
as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the
radio for calls.
3. Key in the official emergency number for your present location.
Emergency numbers vary by location.
4. Press the
key.
If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features off
before you can make an emergency call. Consult this guide or your service
provider for more information.
When making an emergency call, give all the necessary information as
accurately as possible. Your radio may be the only means of communication
