SAFETY AND GENERAL
Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the area where
you drive. Always obey them.
When using your radio while driving, please:
•
Give full attention to driving and to the road.
•
Use hands-free operation, if available.
•
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
FOR VEHICLES WITH AN AIR BAG
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
BLASTING CAPS AND AREAS
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air
bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags
inflate with great force. If a portable radio is placed
in the air bag deployment area and the air bag
inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force
and cause serious injury to occupants of the
vehicle.
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio
type especially qualified for use in such areas as
"Intrinsically Safe" (for example, Factory Mutual,
CSA, UL, or CENELEC). Do not remove, install, or
charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially
explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
NOTE:
The areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres referred to above include fueling areas
such as below decks 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. Areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres are often but not always posted.
To avoid possible interference with blasting
operations, turn off your radio when you are near
electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas
posted: "Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and
instructions.
