PRECAUTIONS
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 a
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hear-
ing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If
you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or dis-
continue use.
NEVER
connect the transceiver to a power source that is DC
fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection will be
protected by this fuse, but higher fuse values will not give any
protection against such accidents and the transceiver will be ru-
ined.
NEVER
attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. Be
aware that external DC power connections will charge batteries
inside the battery case. This will damage not only the battery
case but also the transceiver.
DO NOT
push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-
mit.
Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by chil-
dren.
