SAFETY INFORM ATION
The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of certain hazards
commo n to the opera ti on of ve hi cula r ra di o tran smi ssi ons.
A list of the po ssi ble haz ar ds are:
• Explosive Atmosphe res
Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehicle with the motor running, be
sure to turn the radio off while fueling the vehicle. Do Not carry
containers of fuel in the trunk of the vehicle when the radio is
mounte d in the trun k.
• Interference To Vehicular Elec troni c Syste m s
Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid breaking
systems, electronic cruise control systems, etc., are typical of the
types of electronic devices that may malfunction due to the lack
of protection from radio frequency energy present when transmitting. If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer for
the make of vehicle and enlist his aid in determining if such electroni c cir cu it s perform norma ll y whe n th e radio is transm i tt ing .
• Dynamite Blasting Caps
Dynamite blasting caps may be caused to explode by operating a
radio within 500 feet of the b lasting caps. Always obey the "Turn
Off Two Way Radio" signs posted where dynamite is being used.
When transpo rti ng bla stin g caps in your ve hic le :
a. Carry the blasting caps in a closed metal box with a soft lin-
ing.
b. Leave the radio OFF whenever the blasting caps are being
put into or removed from the vehicle.
• Radio Freque ncy Energy
To prevent burns or related physical injury from radio frequency
energy, do not operate the transmitter when anyone outside of the
vehi cl e is wi th in t wo fe et of th e antenna.
