Safety and General Information
Operational Warnings
For Vehicles with an Air Bag
Do not place the Personal Communicator in the area over an air
bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with
great force. If the Personal Communicator is placed in the air bag
deployment area and the air bag inflates, the Personal
Communicator may be propelled with great force and cause
serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your Personal Communicator prior to entering any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is especially
qualified for use in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe” (for
example, Factory Mutual, CSA, or UL Approved). 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.
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 Personal Communicator 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.
