6. Safety
CAUTION
Damaged Antenna
Do not use any FX-117 that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes in contact with the sk in, a minor burn may result.
Batteries All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.
WARNING
For Vehicles with an Air Bag Do not place your FX-117 in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a FX-117 is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the FX-117 may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Turn your FX-117 OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a type especially qualified for such use (for example, Factory Mutual Approved). Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in injury or even death.
Batteries Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.
Blasting Caps and Areas To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your FX-117 OFF near electrical blasting caps or in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off the two way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
NOTE:
Areas with potentially explos ive atmospheres are often, but not always
clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as below deck on boats; fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities; ar eas 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.
7. Cleaning and Care
