EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where
flammable materials exist, the product should be turned off and the
user should obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Users
are advised not to use the equipment at refueling points such as service
or gas stations. Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions
on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants or where

facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such
