Operational Warnings
• FOR VEHICLES WITH AN AIR BAG
Do not place a portable Personal Interactive Communicator in the area over
an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great
force. If a portable radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air
bag inflates, the Personal Interactive Communicator may be propelled with
great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your Personal Interactive Communicator prior to entering any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a Personal Interactive
Communicator type especially qualified for use in such areas as "Intrinsically
Safe" (for example, Factory Mutual, CSA, or UL Approved). 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.
Getting Started
Battery Information
Your T900 Personal Interactive Communicator operates with a single AA-size alkaline
battery (do not use carbon-zinc batteries). The AA-size battery also recharges the internal
transmit power source.
Two AA-size batteries are provided with your communicator (PIC). The first battery
already installed in your communicator (PIC) keeps the internal transmit power source
charged and may not last long. Use the second AA-size to replace the first battery.
A battery gauge is provided within the Vital Signs feature which can be accessed from the
Main menu. See "Checking Vital Signs" on page 37.

If
displays, the AA-battery is low. Replace the AA-size battery.
If it has been a while since the battery was replaced, you may need to allow the internal
transmit power source to charge overnight (or for a number of hours) to ensure the proper
operation of your communicator (PIC).
Note: This product may contain a Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) rechargeable battery that must
be recycled or disposed of properly. Recycling facilities may not be available in all areas.
• BLASTING CAPS AND AREAS
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your
Personal Interactive Communicator 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
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if
a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed
terminals. The conductive 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.
