Where explosive atmospheres may be present.
•Do not operate your XU870 in any area where a
potentially explosive atmosphere may exist. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily
injury or even death. Be aware and comply with all signs
and instructions.
• Users are advised not to operate the XU870 while at a
refueling point or service station. Users are reminded to
observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel
depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants
or where blasting operations are in progress.
• Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but
not always clearly marked. Potential locations can include
gas stations, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or
storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas
(such as propane or butane), 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.
Near Medical and life support equipment.
• Do not operate your XU870 in any area where medical
equipment, life support equipment, or near any equipment
that may be susceptible to any form of radio interference.
In such areas, the host communications device must be
turned off. The XU870 may transmit signals that could
interfere with this equipment.
