The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of certain hazards common to the     operation
of vehicular radio transmissions.
A list of possible hazards follows:
1.
Explosive Atmospheres
To ensure safety, make sure that the radio is off while fueling the vehicle. When the radio is
mounted in the back of the trunk, never have containers of fuel in the trunk of the vehicle..
2.
Interference to Vehicular Electronics Systems
Typical types of electronic devices that malfunction are -Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic
anti-skid braking systems, etc., The reason for this is due to the lack of protection from radio fre-
quency energy present when transmitting.  If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer
of your vehicle and enlist his aid in determining if such electronic circuits perform normally when the
radio is transmitting.
3.
Dynamite Blasting Caps
Dynamite blasting caps may be caused to explode by operating a radio within 500 feet of the
blasting caps.  Always obey the "Turn Off Two Way Radios" signs posted where dynamite is
being used. When transporting blasting caps in your vehicle:
a.
Carry the blasting caps in a closed metal box with a soft lining.
b.
Leave the radio  OFF whenever the blasting caps are being put into or removed from the
vehicle.
4.
Radio Frequency Energy
Do not operate the transmitter when a person is outside of the vehicle within two feet of the
antenna! Failure to heed this warning may result in burns or related physical injury to the person.
5.
Liquefied (LP) Gas Powered Vehicles
Mobile radio installations in vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas with the LP gas container
in the trunk or other sealed-off space within the interior of the vehicle must conform to the National
Fire Protection Association standard (NFPA) 58 requiring that:
a.
The space containing the radio equipment shall be isolated by a seal from the space containing
the LP gas container and its fittings.
b.
Outside filling connections shall be used for the LP gas container.
c.
The LP gas container shall be vented to the outside of the vehicle.
