Use In Vehicles
You must comply with local, regional and national laws and
regulations regarding the use of two way radio in vehicles at all
times.
DO NOT place your radio in the area adjacent to or in front of 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 the
occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
This radio is NOT Intrinsically Safe. Turn your radio OFF prior to
entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
injury or even death.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often,
but not always, marked. They will include fuelling areas such as
below decks on shops, 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.
Blasting Caps and Hazardous Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, switch off
your radio when you are near electrical blasting caps or in a
“blasting area” or other area signposted: “Switch off two-way
radios” or similar. Obey all signs and instructions.
Radio Operation and EME Exposure
NEVER operate your radio with the antenna less than 5 cm from
your body and keep transmitting time minimal.
ALWAYS use the supplied belt clip if you wear a radio on your
body when transmitting.
