8. Safety
CAUTION
Damaged Antenna
Do not use any PMR that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as
burns if conductive material such as jewellery, keys, or beaded chains
touch 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.
WARNING
For Vehicles with an Air Bag
Do not place your PMR in the area over an air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a PMR is placed in the
air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the PMR may be propelled
with great force and cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your PMR 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 injury or even death.
Batteries
Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause
an explosion.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your PMR OFF
near electrical blasting caps or in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn
off the two way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
NOTE: Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not
always clearly marked. They include fuelling 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.
9. Cleaning and Care
To clean your PMR, use a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use
cleaners or solvent, which may cause damage that may not be covered by
the guarantee.
