Intrinsically Safe Radio Information
Warnings for Radios Approved as
Intrinsically Safe
Portable radio products must ship from the
Motorola manufacturing facility with the hazardous
atmosphere capability and the intrinsic safety
approval labeling (FM, CSA, CEPEL, etc). Portable
radio products will not be upgraded to this
capability and labeled once they have been
shipped to the field.
A modification changes the unit’s hardware from its
original design configuration. Modifications can
only be made by the original product manufacturer.
• Do not replace or change accessories in
a hazardous atmosphere. Contact
sparking may occur while installing or
removing accessories and may cause an
explosion or fire.
• Turn the radio communications
equipment off before removing or
installing a battery or accessory.
• Do not disassemble the FM/CSA
Approved Product unit in any way that
exposes the internal electrical circuits of
the unit.
! !
• Failure to use an FM/CSA Approved
Portable Radio Product with the specific
approved battery or accessories may
result in a dangerously unsafe condition
when being used in a hazardous
environment.
• Unauthorized or incorrect modification of
an Intrinsically Safe approved portable
radio product can negate the FM or CSA
Approval for that radio unit.
• Incorrect repair or relabeling of any
intrinsically safe Agency-approved radio
could adversely affect the Approval rating
of the unit.
• Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe
in a hazardous atmosphere could result in
serious injury or death.
