Intrinsically Safe Radio Information
The Intrinsically safe approval unit refers to a product that has been 
approved as intrinsically safe by an approval agency (for example 
FM Approvals, CSA, UL, or Cenelec) and certifies that a particular 
product meets the Agency's applicable intrinsic safety standards for 
specific types of hazardous classified locations. A portable radio that 
has been approved for intrinsic safety will have Approval label 
attached to the radio to identify the unit as being Approved for 
specified hazardous atmospheres. This label specifies the 
hazardous Class/Division/Group along with the part number of the 
battery that must be used. The Intrinsically Safe Approval Label will 
be located on the portable radio unit.
Antennas
DO NOT use any portable radio that has a damaged 
antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with 
your skin, a minor burn can result.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily 
injury, such as burns, if a conductive material such as 
jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches exposed 
terminals. The conductive 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.
