Important Safety and Product Information or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle. Posted Facilities-Turn your radio OFF in any facility where posted notices so require. Commercial Aircraft-Many commercial airlines prohibit the use of FRS/GMRS radios on board. Switch OFF your radio before boarding an aircraft or check the airline rules. Blasting Areas-To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your radio OFF when in a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn off two‑way radio." Obey all signs and instructions. Potentially Explosive Atmospheres- Turn your radio OFF and do not remove your battery when you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and instructions. Sparks from your battery in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline stations, below deck on boats, fuel or 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. 68 Astro and DC 40 Owner's Manual
