Operating Instructions

For Vehicle with Air Bags

Refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s manual prior to installation of

electronic equipment to avoid interference with air bag wiring. 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 Atmosphere

Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially

explosive atmosphere. Only radio types that are especially qualified

should be used in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe”. Donot remove,

install or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in apotentially

explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fireresulting 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 chemicals

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 atmospheres are often – but

not always posted.
