2.3 safety
I
The ALAN HM06 transceiver has been designed with utmost at
-
tention to guarantee a safe and reliable operation in the long term.
However, it is essential to carefully follow the general precautions
listed below to prevent injuries and damage to yourself, other peo
-
ple and your radio.
2.3.a General precautions
• Carefully read and follow all the instructions and warnings printed
on the labels applied to the equipment and its accessories.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the radio or repair it directly, except
to the extent necessary to perform the maintenance operations
described in this manual. Failure to follow this instruction could
invalidate the warranty and cause damage that requires extensive
reparations. Always contact the local dealer for assistance.
• The performance of HM06 may be influenced by several factors,
that include defects or failures, environmental conditions and im-
proper management and use of the unit.
• Do not spill liquids on the radio. If the transceiver gets wet, dry it
immediately with a soft and clean cloth. If you suspect that liquid
may have penetrated in its interior, have the radio immediately
inspected by an authorized support center.
• Use original spare parts only. The use of non original spare parts
could seriously damage the transceiver.
•
Always switch the radio off before cleaning it.
Carefully follow
the instructions provided in Chapter 10.
• Verify that environmental conditions match those given in the
specifications. The radio is designed to be used in extreme envi
-
ronmental conditions. However, it is essential to avoid exposing it
to excessively high or low temperatures (that is to temperatures
outside the range specified in Chapter 12).
2.3.b Operating conditions
• Do not use the radio when driving. The highway code explicitly
forbids the use of transceivers when driving a vehicle.
• Do not use the radio next to unshielded detonators or in poten
-
tially explosive environments. Do not use the transceiver in poten
-
tially explosive areas (for example near petrol stations), because
a single spark is sufficient to cause an explosion.
• Maintain a safety distance from the transceiver aerial during
transmission. For optimum performance keep the microphone at
5-10 cm from your mouth (as required) and install the aerial in a
vertical and free area in the center of the roof.
