The radio is intended for intermitting operation with an average transmission time of
approx. 10% of the On-time, as usual for CB radios. This device is not intended for
continuous transmission without regular receiving periods to cool down. Avoid high

switchable. The Declaration of Conformity according to the new European standard
EN 300 433-2 applies only, if the device is not modified and used according to this
