SAFETY
Damaged antenna
!
Do not use any PMR that has a damaged antenna. If a
damaged antenna comes in contact with the skin, a minor
burn may result.
Rechargeable batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily
injury such as burns if conductive material such as jewelry,
!
keys, or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The
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.
Warning for vehicles with an air bag
Do not place your unit in the area over an air bag or in the
!
air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force.
If a unit is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air
bag inflates, the device may be propelled with great force
and cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn your unit off when in any area with a potentially
!
explosive atmosphere, unless it is a type especially qualified
for such use (for example, factory mutual approved). Sparks
in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
injury or even death.
Batteries
!
Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or
removing batteries and cause an explosion.
Blasting caps and areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations,
!
turn your device off near electrical blasting caps or in a
"blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn off the two way
radio." Obey all signs and instructions.
