8 ATEX CAUTIONS
8.1 Special conditions for safe use
The equipment is an intrinsically safe equipment. It can be used in a potentially explosive
atmosphere.
The equipment must be powered only by the battery JRC type BP-227AXD.
When the transceiver is used in a hazardous areas, either the jack cover or HM-138 must be
attached to the connector. Failure to do this will make the radio ATEX non-compliant and may
result in an accident during use in hazardous areas.
The battery shall be charged only in non hazardous areas.
Ambient operating temperature: –20
°C to +55°C
