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.
Operational Cautions
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
touch 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.
