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.
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 touches 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.
Intrinsically Safe Radio Information
The Intrinsically safe approval unit refers to a product
that has been approved as intrinsically safe by an
approval agency (for example FM Approvals, CSA, UL,
or Cenelec) and certifies that a particular product
meets the Agency's applicable intrinsic safety
standards for specific types of hazardous classified
locations. A portable radio that has been approved for
intrinsic safety will have Approval label attached to the
radio to identify the unit as being approved for
specified hazardous atmospheres. This label specifies
the hazardous Class/Division/ Group along with the
part number of the battery that must be used. The
Intrinsically Safe Approval Label will be located on the
portable radio unit.
Operational Cautions for Intrinsic Safe
Equipment
z
Do not operate radio communications
equipment in a hazardous atmosphere
unless it is a type especially qualified (for
example, FM, UL, CSA, or CENELEC
approved). An explosion or fire may
result.
z
Do not operate a radio unit that has been
approved as intrinsically safe product in a
hazardous atmosphere if it has been
physically damaged (for example,
cracked housing). An explosion or fire
may result.
