Safety Information and Warnings

WARNING

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a potentially 

explosive atmosphere. Sparks in such areas could cause an 

explosion or fire resulting in injury or even death.

NOTE:

 Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, 

but not always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such 

as below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage 

facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, 

such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where 

you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Blasting Caps and Areas

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn 

your radio OFF near electrical blasting caps or in a “blasting 

area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two way radios.” Obey all 

signs and instructions.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic 

interference (EMI). To avoid the possibility of electromagnetic 

interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio 

in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so such 

as health care facilities.
