Safety analysis The following table summarises the nature of the hazard which may be present when the unit is opened or serviced; each hazard is discussed at greater length in the detailed sections. Hazard cause Hazard identification Precautions Lithium battery Explosive risk, corrosive fumes, Handle appropriately, avoid fire, biological hazard Physiological hazard contact Avoid close or prolonged exposure Radio frequency radiation Adhesives Skin irritation, fumes Avoid contact, ventilate well IPA Irritation, highly flammable Avoid contact, ventilate well Silicone grease Skin irritation (low risk) Avoid contact Lithium batteries Hazardous chemicals Wear gloves Some of the batteries used in these products contain Lithium (Li). Lithium is inflammable, reacts violently with water and constitutes a biological hazard. These batteries are HAZARDOUS if short-circuited, punctured, incinerated or deformed. Lithium batteries must not be short circuited. Lithium batteries must be handled, transported and disposed of using appropriate safety precautions. The use of rubber gloves as a routine precaution is recommended. In the event of leakage of the battery electrolyte (which can be recognised by a pungent odour), take care to avoid contact, particularly with open wounds; do not ingest the material. Do not attempt to discharge a leaking battery remove it using appropriate handling materials and seal in a plastic bag, then dispose of it through an approved environmental disposal agent, or in accordance with local regulations. Radio frequency radiation Radio frequency radiation A handheld VHF radio produces radio frequency radiation when it transmits. The radiated level is up to 5W for the duration of the transmission. This is above the risk threshold in some countries. Exposure should be limited. Keep transmissions short. R2 radios service manual Issue 1 Page 1

6 Commercial in confidence M General precautions for chemical agents (adhesives, greases, IPA) Observe all safety precautions relevant to the country of operation. As a general rule, protective overalls, gloves and goggles should be worn when handling these chemical agents, but different countries may have additional requirements which must be observed. Ensure that all chemical agents are handled in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, and that suitable protective clothing is worn. Make sure that the working area is well ventilated, and that chemical substances are not left exposed. Observe good hygiene practices; do not eat, drink or smoke when handling chemicals. Cyanoacrylate adhesives bond instantly on contact. If skin is bonded, it can usually be released by a gentle peeling action; above all, do not panic and avoid direct pulling on bonded skin. Read the manufacturer's instructions before using any chemical agent. Wear goggles Wear overalls Wash hands Wear gloves R2 radios service manual Issue 1 Page 2
