7. Safety

CAUTION

Damaged Antenna

Do not use any SMR 601 that has a damaged antenna. 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 SMR 601 in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a SMR 601 is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the SMR 601 may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your SMR 601 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 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 SMR 601 OFF near electrical blasting caps or in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off the 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.

8. Cleaning and Care

To clean your SMR 601, use a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use cleaners or solvent, which may cause damage that may not be covered by guarantee.
