Safety Information
Every radio, when transmitting, radiates energy into
the atmosphere which may, under certain conditions,
cause the generation of a spark.
All users of vehicles fitted with radios should be aware
of the following warnings:
Do not operate radio near
inflammable liquids or in the vicinity of
explosive devices
During normal use, the radio will subject you to radio
energy substantially below the level where any kind of
harm is reported.
To ensure personal safety, please observe the follow-
ing simple rules:
•
To assure that radio frequency (RF) energy
exposure to bystanders external to a vehicle is
lower than that recommended by the adopted
standard, transmit with any mobile radio only
when bystanders are at least 60 cm away from
a properly installed externally mounted
antenna.
•
DO NOT hold the transmit (PTT) key in when
not actually desiring to transmit.
•
DO NOT allow children to play with any radio
equipment containing a transmitter.
•
DO NOT operate radio while driving. It should
also be noticed that the use of a hand held
microphone while driving could constitute an
offence under the Road Traffic Regulation.
When planning the installation of communication
equipment in a vehicle with one or more air bags:
Caution: Vehicles Equipped with Air Bags
•
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT
place objects, including communication equip-
ment, in the area over the air bag or in the air
bag deployment area. If the communication
equipment is improperly installed and the air
bag inflates, this could cause serious injury.
•
Installation of vehicle communication equip-
ment should be performed by a professional
installer/technician qualified in the requirements
for such installations. An air bag's size, shape
and deployment area can vary by vehicle make,
model and front compartment configuration
(e.g., bench seat vs. bucket seats).
•
Contact the vehicle manufacturer's corporate
headquarters, if necessary, for specific air bag
information for the vehicle make, model and
front compartment configuration invovled in
your communication equipment installation.
