CAUTION
Damaged Antenna
Do not use any PMR that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes
in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your PMR OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. The
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.
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.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if
conductive material such as jewe l ry, 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.
8. Safety
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.
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.
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 guarantee.
