NOTE: Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as below deck 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.
WARNING
For Vehicleswith an AirBag
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Batteries
Batteries
Blasting Caps andAreas
Do not use any Wa l k i e Talkie that has a damaged ANTENNA.
If a damaged ANTENNA comes in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result.
Turn your Wa l k i e Talkie OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, unless it is a type especially qualified for such use (for example,
Factory Mutual Approved). Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Do not place your Walkie Talkie in the area over an air bag or in the air
bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If Walkie Talkie is placed
in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the Walkie Talkie may
be propelled with great
force and cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if
conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches exposed
terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and
become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly
when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your Walkie Talkie
OFF near electrical blasting caps or in a "blasting area" or in areas posted:
"Turn off two-way radio". Obey all signs and instructions.
Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause
an explosion.
