cut the DC power cable be-
tween the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection
is made after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged.
R

expose the transceiver to rain,
snow or any liquids.

operate or place the transceiver in areas with
temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F),
or in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.

hicle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out when
the transceiver transmits while the vehicle’s engine is OFF.

crophones have different pin assignments and may damage
the transceiver.
