Safety and General Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the area where you drive. Always obey them. When using
your radio while driving, please:
•
Give full attention to driving and to the road.
•
Use hands-free operation, if available.
•
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
Operational Warnings
For Vehicles with an Air Bag
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with
great force. If a portable radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be
propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio type
especially qualified for use in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe.” 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.
Note: 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.
