Operational Cautions for Intrinsic Safe Equipment
• DO NOT operate radio communications equipment in a hazardous
atmosphere unless it is a type especially qualified (for example, FM,
UL, CSA, or CENELEC approved). An explosion or fire may result.
C a u t i o n
• DO NOT operate a radio unit that has been approved as intrinsically
safe product in a hazardous atmosphere if it has been physically
damaged (for example, cracked housing). An explosion or fire may
result.
• DO NOT replace or charge batteries in a hazardous atmosphere.
Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and
cause an explosion or fire.
Warnings for Radios Approved as Intrinsically Safe
Radios must ship from the Motorola manufacturing facility with the hazardous
atmosphere capability and the intrinsic safety approval labelling (FM, UL, CSA,
CENELEC). Radios will not be upgraded to this capability and labeled once they
have been shipped to the field.
A modification changes the unit's hardware from its original design configuration.
Modifications can only be made by the original product manufacturer.
