2. SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION WARNING The Harris XG-25P portable radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only,” meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled environment.
ALWAYS transmit using low power when possible. In addition to conserving battery charge, low power can reduce RF exposure. ALWAYS use Harris authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc). Use of unauthorized accessories may cause the FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance requirements to be exceeded. As noted in Table 2-1, ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna AT LEAST 1.5 cm (0.59 inches) from the body and at least 2.5 cm (1.

3.1.1 Antenna Care and Replacement WARNING WARNING WARNING Always keep the antenna at least 0.43 inches (1.5 cm) away from the body and 1.0 inch (2.5 cm) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. Do not use the portable radio with a damaged or missing antenna. A minor burn may result if skin comes into contact with a damaged antenna. Replace a damaged antenna immediately.
3.1.5 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, clearly marked. These may be fuelling 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. WARNING Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Turn OFF two-way radios when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
WARNING WARNING 5.1 Do not disassemble or modify Lithium battery packs. The Lithium battery packs are equipped with built-in safety and protection features. Should these features be disabled or tampered with in any way, the battery pack can leak electrolyte, overheat, emit smoke, burst, and/or ignite. If the battery pack is ruptured or is leaking electrolyte that results in skin or eye contact with the electrolyte, immediately flush the affected area with water.
