SAFETY INFORMATION
The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of certain hazards
common to the operation of vehicular radio transmissions.
A list of possible hazards are:
1. Explosive Atmospheres
Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehicle with the motor running, be
sure to turn the radio off while fueling the vehicle. Do not carry
containers of fuel in the trunk.
2. Interference to Vehicular Electronics Systems
Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti skid braking sys-
tems, etc., are typical of the type of electronic devices that may
malfunction due to the lack of protection from radio frequency energy
present when transmitting. If the vehicle contains such equipment,
consult the dealer for the make of the vehicle and enlist his aid in
determining if such electronic circuits perform normally when the
radio is transmitting.
3. Dynamite Blasting Caps
Dynamite blasting caps may be caused to explode by operating a radio
within 500 feet of the blasting caps. Always obey the " Turn Off Two
Way Radios" signs posted where dynamite is being used. When
transporting blasting caps in your vehicle:
a. Carry the blasting caps in a closed metal box with a soft lining.
b. Leave the radio OFF whenever the blasting caps are being put
into or removed from the vehicle.
4. Radio Frequency Energy
To prevent burns or related physical injury from radio frequency
energy, do not operate the transmitter when anyone outside of the
vehicle is within two feet of the antenna.
5. Liquefied (LP) Gas Powered Vehicles
Mobile radio installations in vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum
gas with the LP gas container in the trunk or other sealed-off space
