material such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains touches 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 replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause
an explosion.
7.3. For vehicles with air bag.
Do not place your Communicator in the area over an air bag or in the air bad deployment
area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a communicator is placed in the bag deployment
area and the air bag inflates, the communicator may be propelled with great force and
cause serious injury to the occupants of vehicle.
