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
atmospheres 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 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.
