OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
For Vehicles With Air Bags
Do not mount or place a mobile radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a 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.
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 fuelling 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. Areas with potentially
explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.
Blasting Caps And Blasting 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 fueled 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, Quincy, MA.
