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
(2 to 4 in) 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.
Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume op-
eration. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the
volume level or discontinue use.
NEVER
connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a
power source of more than 16 V DC. Such a connection will
damage the transceiver.
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, higher fuse values will not give any pro-
tection against such accidents and the transceiver will be ruined.
NEVER
attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. Be-
ware that external DC power connections will charge batteries
inside the battery case. This will damage not only the battery
case but also the transceiver.
i
IMPORTANT
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before
