RF ENERGY EXPOSURE TRAINING AND PRODUCT SAFETY INFORMATION
Operational Warnings
The following explains the operational warnings:
•
For Vehicle With Air Bags
– Refer to vehicle manufacturer's manual prior to installation of electronic equipment to avoid interference with air bag
wiring.
– DO NOT place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great
force. If a portable radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with
great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
•
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
– Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a potentially explosive atmosphere could result in a serious injury or death.
You should only use a certified Intrinsically Safe radio in potentially explosive atmospheres.
– Explosive atmospheres refer to hazard classified locations that may contain hazardous gas, vapors, dusts, such as fueling
areas below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transferor storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles such as grain, dust or metal powders. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always,
posted.
– Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere unless it is a radio type specifically
certified for use in hazardous location areas.
– DO NOT remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas, or remove or install antennas. Sparks in a potentially
explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
•
Blasting Caps and Blasting Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a
blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
