If a damaged ANTENNA comes in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Batteries All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. WARNING For Vehicles with an Air Bag Do not place your Walkie Talkie in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If Walkie Talkie is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the Walkie Talkie may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle. Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Turn your Wa l k i e Talkie OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a type especially qualified for such use (for example, Factory Mutual Approved). Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Batteries Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion. Blasting Caps and Areas To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your Walkie Talkie OFF near electrical blasting caps or in a "blasting area" or in areas posted:
"Turn off two-way radio". Obey all signs and instructions. NOTE: Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as below deck 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. 17 Care and Safety Care and Safety To clean the unit, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water.
