OPERATION SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
3.1 TRANSMITTER
HAZARDS
The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of
certain hazards common to the operation of vehicular
radio transmitters. A list of several possible hazards is
given.
•
Explosive Atmospheres –
Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehicle with
the motor running, similar hazards exist when operating a mobile radio.
Be sure to turn the radio off while fueling a vehicle. Do not carry
containers of fuel in the trunk of a vehicle if the radio is mounted in the
trunk.
Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked. Turn OFF your radio when in any area with
a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but not impossible that
the radio or its accessories could generate sparks.
•
Interference to Vehicular Electronics Systems –
Electronic fuel
injection systems, electronic anti-skid braking systems, electronic cruise
control systems, etc., are typical electronic systems that can malfunction
due to the lack of protection from radio frequency energy present when
transmitting. If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer
and enlist their aid in determining the expected performance of electronic
circuits when the radio is transmitting.
•
Electric Blasting Caps –
To prevent accidental detonation of electric
blasting caps,
DO NOT
use two-way radios within 1000 feet of blasting
operations. Always obey the “
Turn Off Two-Way Radios
” signs posted
where electric blasting caps are being used. (OSHA Standard: 1926-900)
•
Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gas Powered Vehicles –
Mobile radio
installations in vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas with the LP
gas container in the trunk or other sealed-off space within the interior of
the vehicle must conform to the
N
ational
F
ire
P
rotection
A
ssociation
standard
NFPA 58
requiring:
o
The space containing the radio equipment shall be isolated by a seal
from the space containing the LP gas container and its fittings.
o
Outside filling connections shall be used for the LP gas container.
o
The LP gas container shall be vented to the outside of the vehicle.
