Do not use any PMR that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes

in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result.

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if

conductive material such as jewellery, keys or beaded chains touch 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.

Do not place your PMR in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment

area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a PMR is placed in the air bag

deployment area and the air bag inflates, the PMR may be propelled with great

force and cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
