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.
Blasting Caps and 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.
Operational Cautions
Antennas
Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
