SAFETY INFORMATION
The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of certain
hazards common to the operation of vehicular radio trans-
missions. Possible hazards are:
Explosive Atmospheres:
Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehicle
with the motor running, be sure to turn the radio OFF while
fueling the vehicle.
Do not
carry containers of fuel in the
trunk of the vehicle when the radio is mounted in the trunk.
Interference To Vehicular Electronic Systems:
Electronic fuel
injection systems, electronic anti-skid braking systems, elec-
tronic cruise control systems, etc. are typical of the types of
electronic devices that may malfunction due to the lack of
protection from radio frequency energy present when trans-
mitting. If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the
dealer for the make of vehicle and enlist his aid in determining
if such electronic circuits perform normally when the radio is
transmitting.
Dynamite Blasting Caps:
Dynamite blasting caps may be
caused to explode by operating a radio within 500 feet of the
caps. Always obey the "Turn Off Two Way Radio" signs
posted where dynamite is being used. When transporting
blasting caps in your vehicle:
a)
Carry the blasting caps in a closed metal box with a soft
lining.
b)
Leave the radio OFF whenever the blasting caps are
being put into or removed from the vehicle.
Radio Frequency Energy:
To prevent burns or related physical
injury from radio frequency energy, do not operate the trans-
mitter when anyone outside of the vehicle is within two feet
of the antenna.
