OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
Vehicles with an Air Bag
Do not place a radio in the area over an air bag
or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags
inflate with great force. If a 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
Turn off your two-way radio when you are in
any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially
qualified for use in such areas (for example,
Factory Mutual or CENELEC approved).
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.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres referred to above include
fueling areas such as: below decks 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 a
vehicle engine. Areas with potentially
explosive atmospheres are often but
not always posted.
