Introduction
To ensure personal safety, please observe the following simple rules:
Air Bag Warning
Installation of vehicle equipment 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
involved in your communication equipment installation.
LP Gas Warning
WARNING
•
Do not transmit when the antenna is very close to, or
touching, exposed parts of the body, especially the
face and eyes.
•
Do not hold the transmit (PTT) key in when not
desiring to transmit.
•
Check the laws and regulations on the use of two-
way mobile radios in the areas where you drive.
Always obey them. Also, when using your radio while
driving, please:
give full attention to driving,
use hands-free operation, if available, and
pull off the road and park before making or answering
a call if driving conditions so require.
WARNING
Vehicles equipped with air bags.
An air bag inflates with great force. Do not place
objects, including communication equipment, 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.
WARNING
It is mandatory that radios installed in vehicles fueled by
liquefied petroleum gas conform to the National Fire
Protection Association standard NFPA 58, which applies
to vehicles with a liquid propane (LP) gas container in
the trunk or other sealed off space within the interior of
the vehicle. The NFPA 58 requires the following:
•
Any space containing radio equipment shall be
isolated by a seal from the space in which the LP gas
container and its fittings are located.
•
Removable (outside) filling connections shall be
used.
•
The container space shall be vented to the outside.
