Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
WARNING
Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere
are often, but not always, clearly marked.
These may be fueling areas, such as gas
stations, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities, and areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or
metal powders.
Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death.
Turn OFF your radio when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare,
but not impossible that the radio or its
accessories could generate sparks.
