Special conditions when using
IS radios

certified by a third party to be safe to use in particular
hazardous locations, or in potentially explosive
atmospheres.
Warning Use only a Tait-supplied, IS-approved
battery and charger with an IS radio. Fitting a battery
or using a charger that is not IS-approved creates a
risk of explosion which could cause serious injury or
death.
Warning Do not charge the battery in a hazardous
location. An explosion could cause serious injury or
death.
For detailed information about IS radios and
accessories, refer
to

Before using the charger
Notice Turn the radio off before removing the battery,
and turn it on again after attaching the battery. This
ensures that the radio powers down and up correctly.
Failing to follow this procedure may require the radio
to be turned off then on again to operate correctly.
Handle the battery safely
Warning Handle the battery safely. Failure to
observe the following handling recommendations
could result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage.
