Operational Warnings
For Vehicles with an Air Bag
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
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a
radio type especially qualified for use in such area as “Intrinsically Safe.”
Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such area. Sparks in a potentially explosive
atmosphere can cause explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmosphere referred to above include fueling areas
such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where
the air contains chemical or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders, and any other
area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with
potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always posted.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when you near electrical
blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all sign and
instructions.
