Intrinsically Safe Radio
Information
Anyone intending to use a radio in a location
where hazardous concentrations of flammable
materials exist (hazardous atmosphere) is
advised to become familiar with the subject of
intrinsic safety and with the National Electric
Code NFPA 70 (National Fire Protection Agency)
Article 500 (hazardous [classified] locations).
UL Approval labels are attached to the LS355
Pager to identify the unit as being UL Approved
for specified hazardous atmospheres. This label
specifies the hazardous Class/Division/Group
which will appear as follows:
RAD DEV FOR HAZ LOC
U
DlV 2, I, ABCD, II, FG
L
RAD DEV FOR HAZ LOC
U
L
EXIA: DIV 2, I, ABCD; II, FG
Substitution of components may impair the suitability for Division 2.
The following are the approved batteries to be
used for the UL Approved LS355 Pager: 1.5 AA
ALK, Duracell® MN2400 or Energizer® E92

• Do not operate equipment in a hazardous
atmosphere unless it is a type especially
qualified (for example, UL Approved) for such
use. An explosion or fire may result.
• Do not operate a UL Approved Product in a
hazardous atmosphere if it has been physically
damaged (for example, cracked housing). An
explosion or fire may result.
• Do not replace or charge batteries in a
hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may
occur while installing or removing batteries
and cause an explosion or fire.
• Do not replace or change accessories in a
hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may
occur while installing or removing accessories
and cause an explosion or fire.
• Turn a radio off before removing or installing a
battery or accessory.
• Do not disassemble a UL Approved Product
unit in any way that exposes the internal
electrical circuits of the unit.
• Do not substitute components. This could void
the intrinsic safety rating.
WARNING: Substitution of components may
impair the suitability for Division 2.
