Warning:
• Do not carry a radio that is not certified
for Hazardous Locations into a
potentially explosive atmosphere. It
could result in a serious injury or death.
You should only use a radio certified for
hazardous locations in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
• Explosive atmospheres refer to hazard
classified locations that may contain
hazardous gas, vapors, dusts, such as
fueling areas below decks on boats,
fuel or chemical transferor storage
facilities, and areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles such as
grain, dust or metal powders. Areas
with potentially explosive atmospheres
are often, but not always, posted.
• DO NOT remove, install, or charge
batteries in such areas, or remove or
install antennas. Sparks in a potentially
explosive atmosphere can cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury
or even death.
