Operational Warnings; Potentially Explosive Atmospheres - Motorola APX6000 User Manual

If you experience hearing discomfort, ringing in your ears, or muffled speech,
you should stop listening to your radio through your headset or earpiece, and
have your hearing checked by your doctor.

Operational Warnings

For Vehicles with an Air Bag
! !
Do not mount or place a mobile radio in the area over an air bag
W A R N I N G
or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great
force. If a 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. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. The areas with
potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling areas such as below
decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal
powders. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not
always, posted.
Blasting Caps and Blasting Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio
when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas
posted: "Turn off two-way radio". Obey all signs and instructions.
For radios installed in vehicles fueled by liquefied petroleum gas, refer to the
(U.S.) National Fire Protection Association standard, NFPA 58, for storage,
handling, and/or container information. For a copy of the LP-gas standard,
NFPA 58, contact the National Fire Protection Association, One Battery
Park, Quincy, MA.
