16 For your safety
Potentially explosive atmospheres and
blasting areas
Warning
Unless the radio is specifically certified for
use in a potentially explosive atmosphere, do not take
the radio into such an atmosphere. An explosion could
cause serious injury or death. Examples of potentially
explosive atmospheres include any environment
where there are flammable liquids, gases, or dusts.
Warning
Turn off the radio before approaching any
area where you are instructed to turn off a two-way
radio.
Radio installation and operation in
vehicles
Warning
Keep the radio away from airbags and
airbag deployment areas. Do not install, charge, or
place a radio near such areas. An activated airbag
can propel a portable radio with sufficient force to
cause serious injury to vehicle occupants. An airbag
may not perform to specification if obstructed by a
radio.
Warning
To avoid damage to existing wiring, airbags,
fuel tanks, fuel and brake lines, or battery cables, refer
to the installation guide for the radio, and to the vehicle
manufacturer’s manual, before installing electronic
equipment in the vehicle.
Using a handheld microphone or a radio while driving
a vehicle may violate the laws and legislation that
apply in your country or state. Please check the
vehicle regulations in your area.
