Safety & Warnings
It is important that the operator understands and is aware of hazards common to the operation of any two-way radio.
WARNING
1. EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES (GASES, DUST, FUMES, etc.)
Turn off and do not operate your radio while taking on fuel, or while parked in gasoline service stations. Do not carry spare fuel containers in the trunk of your vehicle if your radio is mounted in the trunk area.
2. INJURY FROM RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSIONS
Do not operate your radio when anyone is touching the antenna, or when anyone is standing within two to three feet of your antenna, to avoid the possibility of radio frequency burns or related physical injury.
3. DYNAMITE BLASTING CAPS
Dynamite blasting caps may explode by the operation of two-way radio transmitters, if such operation occurs within 500 feet of the blasting caps. Turn off and do not operate your radio when in an area where blasting is in progress, or where “TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO” signs have been posted. If you are transporting blasting caps in your vehicle, make certain they are carried in a closed metal box having a padded interior. Do not transmit during the time that caps are being placed into or removed from this container.
