PRECAUTIONS
R
WARNING! NEVER
connect the transceiver directly to an AC
outlet. This may cause a fire or an electric shock.
R
WARNING! NEVER
connect the transceiver to a power
source of more than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This
connection could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
R
WARNING! NEVER
reverse the DC power cable polarity
when connecting to a power source. This could damage the
transceiver.
R
WARNING! NEVER
cut the DC power cable between the
DC connector on the transceiver's rear panel and the fuse
holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the
transceiver may be damaged.
R
WARNING! NEVER
operate the transceiver during a
lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a
fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power
source and antenna before a storm.
R
WARNING! NEVER
place the transceiver where normal
operation of the vessel may be hindered, or where it could
cause bodily injury.
CAUTION: DO NOT
install the transceiver and/or
microphone less than 1 meter from the vessel’s magnetic
navigation compass.
CAUTION: DO NOT
place or leave the transceiver in areas
with temperatures below –20°C ~ +60°C (–4ºF ~ +140ºF), or
in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as a dashboard.
CAUTION: DO NOT
use harsh solvents such as Benzine
or alcohol to clean the transceiver, as they will damage the
transceiver’s surfaces. If the transceiver becomes dusty or
dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver's rear panel will become hot
when transmitting continuously for long periods of time.
NOTE:
Place the transceiver in a secure place to avoid
inadvertent use by unauthorized persons.
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver meets IPX7 requirements
for waterproof protection*. However, once the transceiver
or microphone has been dropped, or the waterproof seal
is cracked or damaged, waterproof protection cannot be
guaranteed because of possible damage to the case or the
waterproof seal.
* Except for the DC power connector, NMEA In/Out leads and AF
Out leads.
