RECOMMENDATION
CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER THOROUGHLY WITH FRESH
WATER
after exposure to saltwater. Otherwise, the trans-
ceiver's keys, switches and controllers may become inoper-
able due to salt crystallization.
NOTE: DO NOT
wash the transceiver in water if there is any
reason to suspect the waterproofing may not be effective. For
example, in cases where the battery pack rubber seal is dam-
aged, the transceiver/battery pack is cracked or broken, or
has been dropped, or when the battery pack is detached from
the transceiver.

WARNING!
NEVER
connect the transceiver to an
AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
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.
R
WARNING! NEVER
operate the transceiver with
other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing ex-
perts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you
experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or
discontinue use.
DO NOT
modify the transceiver.
The transceiver warranty does
not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification.
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver will become hot when
operating it continuously for long periods of time.
KEEP
the transceiver and microphone at least 1 m away
from the vessel’s magnetic navigation compass.
KEEP
the transceiver out of the reach of children.
