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

normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it
could cause bodily injury.
CAUTION:
NEVER
allow children to touch the trans-
ceiver.
CAUTION:

expose the transceiver to rain,
snow or any liquids.
USE
the specified microphone only. Other microphones
have different pin assignments and may damage the trans-
ceiver.
DO NOT
use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures 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.

place the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-
ronments.
DO NOT
place the transceiver against walls. This will ob-
struct heat dissipation.

use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver sur-
faces.
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods of time.
