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 praticles, 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.
Antennas
Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged
antenna.
If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your
skin, a minor burn can result.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily
injury such as burns if a conductive material such as
jewelry, keys, or beaded chain 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.
- Battery Charger Safety Instructions
1. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
2. Do not operate or disassemble the charger if it has
received a sharp blow, or has been dropped or
damaged in any way.
3. Never alter the AC cord or plug provided with the
6
Operational Cautions
unit. If the plug will not fit the connector, have the
proper connector installed by a qualified electrician.
An improper condition can result in a risk of electric
shock.
4. To reduce the risk of damage to the cord or plug,
pull the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting
the charger from the AC receptacle.
5. To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the
charger from the connector before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning.
6. Use of an attachment which not recommended, may
result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
7. Make sure the cord is located where it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or subjected to damage or
stress.
8. An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension
cord could result in a risk of fire and/or electric shock.
If an extension cord must be used, make sure that:
• The pins on the plug of the extension cord are the
same number, size, and shape as those on the
plug of the charger.
• The extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition.
• The cord size is 18 AWG for lengths up to 100 feet,
and 16 AWG for lengths up to 150 feet.
