WARNING! NEVER 

connect the transceiver to an 

AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an elec-
tric shock.

R

WARNING! NEVER 

hold the transceiver so that 

the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of 
the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The 
transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm 
away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.

CAUTION: NEVER 

connect the transceiver to a power 

source other than the specified battery pack/case. Such a 
connection will ruin the transceiver.

DO NOT 

use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight 

or in areas with temperatures below –15°C or above +55°C: 
Marine, below –25°C or above +55°C: PMR.

KEEP 

the transceiver out of the reach of children.

KEEP 

the transceiver at least 0.9 meter 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 battery pack, flexible antenna, [SP MIC] jack cover 

is attached.

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 in-
side of the transceiver to water will result in serious damage 
to the transceiver.
After  exposure  to  water,  clean  the  battery  contacts  thor-
oughly with fresh water and dry them completely to remove 
any water or salt residue.
