CAUTION: MAKE SURE
the flexible antenna and
battery pack are securely attached to the transceiver, and
that the antenna and battery pack are dry before attachment.
Exposing the inside of the transceiver to water will result in
serious damage to the trans ceiver.
DO NOT

blast ing caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT
push [PTT] when not actually intending to transmit.
DO NOT
use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below –25°C or above +55°C.
The basic operations, transmission and reception of the trans-
ceiver are guaranteed within the specified operating tempera-
ture range. However, the LCD display may not be operate
correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours of
operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas.
DO NOT
modify the transceiver. The transceiver warranty
does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modi-
fication.
DO NOT
use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces.

operating it continuously for long periods of time.
KEEP
the transceiver away from the heavy rain, and Never
immerse it in the water. The transceiver meets IP54* require-
ments for dust-protection and splash resistance.
However, once the transceiver has been dropped, dust-pro-

the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or the water-
proof seal damaged, etc.

cover are attached.
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still
flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or batteries from
the trans ceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise,
the installed battery pack or batteries will become exhausted,
and will need to be recharged or replaced.
