KEEP 

the transceiver out of the reach of unauthorized per-

sons.

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 battery pack, flexible antenna, [SP MIC] jack cover 

is attached.

MAKE SURE

 

to turn OFF the transceiver before con-

necting or disconnecting the supplied or optional accessory.
