Operational Cautions - Motorola PRO1150 Manual De Uso

Safety Information

Operational Cautions

Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting
operations, turn off your radio when you are near
electrical blasting caps. In a "blasting area" or in
areas posted "turn off two-way radio," obey all signs
and instructions.
NOTE: The areas with potentially explosive atmo-
spheres 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 parti-
cles, such as grain, dust or metal powders;
and any other area where you would nor-
mally be advised to turn off your vehicle
engine. Areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres are often but not always post-
ed.
Operational Cautions
Damaged antennas
Do not use any portable two-way radio that has a
damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into
contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
Make sure you have the correct antenna installed for
your radio's frequency band. As your dealer for
details.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or
bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material
such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains touch
exposed terminals. The conductive material may
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and
2-2
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 Charging Information
This product is powered by a nickel-cadmium
(NiCd) rechargeable battery. Charge the battery
before use to ensure optimum capacity and
performance. The battery was designed specifically
to be used with a Motorola charger. Charging in
non-Motorola equipment may lead to battery
damage and void the battery warranty.
NOTE:
The battery should be about 77ºF (25ºC) (room
temperature) whenever possible. Charging a cold
!
battery (below 50ºF [10ºC]) may result in leakage of
electrolyte and ultimately in failure of the battery.
Charging a hot battery (above 95ºF [35ºC]) results in
C a u t i o n
reduced discharge capacity, affecting the
performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate
battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing
circuit to ensure that batteries are charged within
the temperature limits stated above.
PRO1150™ Service Manual
When charging a battery attached to a
radio, turn off the radio to ensure a full
charge.
