Safety-Conscious Utilization
The following notes should always be taken in account to ensure a
safe and normal operation of our product.
• Before first use, the built-in battery should be charged for
approx. 8...10 hours. Man-carried GK61X-XX can be charged
via the included battery charger; for car installations the
battery will be recharged automatically via the Car Battery
Cable 1KA615 (accessory, to be ordered separately) as soon
as the car power supply is available.
• To assure long battery life the GK61X-XX should not be
stored in a discharged state for a longer time.
• Speak loud into the microphone and keep it always close to
the lips, otherwise ambient noise can be intrusive and make
understanding difficult.
• Use only microphones or headsets, which are suitable for
ground-stations. Radiation received from the equipment
antenna can affect the integrated amplifier of the microphone
(feedback). This is noticeable in the receiving station by
whistling and/or heavy distortion. The described disturbances
can occur in different ways on different transmit channels.
• Transmit buttons can stick, or TX line is short circuited thus
causing continuous carrier signal on the active channel.
Therefore ensure that the display (sign " TX ") disappeared
when the "PTT" button was released.
Long term and very close exposure of a human body to VHF radiation may
in individual cases cause health issues.
