SAFETY SUMMARY
The following are general safety precautions that are not related to any specific procedure, and do not appear elsewhere
in this manual. These Safety Summaries are recommended precautions that all personnel must understand and apply
during any given phase of operation and maintenance. Each chapter has other specific warnings and cautions.
KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS
Personnel must at all times observe all safety regulations. Do not replace components or make
adjustments inside equipment with power turned on. Under certain conditions, dangerous
voltages may exist when the power switch is in the off position due to charges retained by
capacitors. To avoid injury, always remove power and discharge and ground a circuit before
touching it.
RESUSCITATION
Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with modern methods of
resuscitation. Such information may be obtained from the Director of Base Medical Services.
Lithium oxide batteries or cells may be used in the battery enclosure and receiver-transmitters used in this equipment.
They are potentially hazardous if misused or tampered with before, during or after discharge. The following precautions
must be strictly observed to prevent possible injury to personnel or equipment damage.
Do not heat, incinerate, crush, puncture, disassemble, or otherwise mutilate the batteries.
Do not short-circuit, recharge, or bypass internal fuse.
Do not store batteries in equipment during long periods of non-use (in excess of 30 days).
Turn off the equipment immediately if you detect battery compartment becoming unduly hot, hear battery cells
venting (hissing sounds), or smell irritating sulfur dioxide gas.
