WARNING! NEVER
hold the transceiver so that
the antenna is closer than 2.5 cm (1 inch) from exposed
parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmit-
ting. The transceiver will perform best if the microphone is
5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) away from the lips and the trans-
ceiver is vertical.
CAUTION: NEVER
connect the transceiver to a
power source other than the BC-199 or BP-266. Such a con-
nection will ruin the transceiver.
DO NOT
use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight
or in areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or above
+60°C (+140°F).
KEEP
the transceiver out of the reach of children.
KEEP
the transceiver at least 0.9 meters (3.0 ft) away
from your vessel’s magnetic navigation compass.
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver meets IPX7* require-
ments for waterproof protection. However, once the trans-
ceiver has been dropped, waterproof protection cannot be
guaranteed because of possible damage to the transceiver's
case or the waterproof seal.
* Only when the flexible antenna, battery cover and
[DC]
jack cap
are securely attached.
MAKE SURE
the fl exible antenna and battery cover are
securely attached to the transceiver, and that the antenna
and battery cover are dry before attachment. Exposing the
inside of the transceiver to water will result in serious dam-
age to the transceiver.
