Notices to the User: 

When condensation occurs inside the transceiver: 

·Condensation may occur inside the transceiver when the room is warmed using a heater 

on a cold day or when the transceiver is quickly moved from a cold location to a warm 

location. 

  When condensation occurs,the microcomputer and /or the transmit/receive circuits may 

become unstable,resulting in transceiver malfunction. 

  If this happens,turn OFF the transceiver and wait for a while. 

  When the condensed droplets disappear,the transceiver will function normally. 

 

Do not touch the metal surface of the transceiver while it is in use. 

Do not mount the transceiver such that the chassis can come in contact with skin. 

High temperatures may burn your skin.
