For Vehicle With Air Bags

Refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s manual prior to installation

of electronic equipment to avoid interference with air bag wiring.

Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in

the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If

a portable 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 occupants of the vehicle.

Potentially Explosive Atmosphere

Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially

explosive atmosphere. Only radio types that are especially

qualified must be used in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe”. Do

not remove, install or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a

potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire

resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Note:The areas with potentially explosive atmosphere referred

to above include fueling areas such as below decks on

boats, 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. 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 radios”. Obey

all signs and instructions.
