It is rare, but your communicator (PIC) may generate sparks. Communicator
(PIC)s have internal electronic circuits which may be operational even when
the device is turned OFF or the battery removed.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,
clearly marked and include the following:
• Gas stations
• Below deck on boats
• Fuel or chemical transfer/storage facilities
• Areas where air may contain chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or
metal powders
• Any area where you would normally be advised to turn OFF your motor
vehicle.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your communicator (PIC). Vehicles
using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with
the National Fire Protection Standard (MFPA-58). For a copy of this standard,
contact the National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publications Sales Division.
