The ME500-X unit cannot be turned off after installation, so any vehicle, moving
machinery, construction machinery installed with ME500-X etc. must not enter any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always marked clearly.
Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline stations); below deck on
boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas
(such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as
grain, dust, or metal powders); and any other area where it would normally be advisable to
turn off motor vehicle engines it is not allowed to enter with a vehicle, moving machinery,
construction machinery installed with the ME500-X.

An airbag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including the ME500-X unit, in
the area over the airbag or in the airbag deployment area. If in vehicle wireless equipment
is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
