SAFETY
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.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere
can cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
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.
Blasting Caps and Areas
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.
For radios installed in vehicles fuelled by
liquefied petroleum gas, refer to the (U.S.)
National Fire Protection Association standard,
NFPA 58, for storage, handling, and/ or
container information. For a copy of the LP-
gas standard, NFPA 58, contact the National
Fire Protection Association, One Battery Park,
