WARNING! NEVER
operate the transceiver while driving
a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything
less may result in an accident.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE
the flexible antenna, battery pack
and jack cover are securely attached to the transceiver,
and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before
attachment. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to dust or
water will result in serious damage to the transceiver.
DO NOT
operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical
blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT
push [PTT] when you do not actually intend to
transmit.
DO NOT
use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –25°C or above +55°C. The
basic operations, transmission and reception of the transceiver
are guaranteed within the specified operating temperature
range. However, the LCD display may not be operate correctly,
or show an indication in the case of long hours of operation, or
after being placed in extremely cold areas.
DO NOT
modify the transceiver. The specifications may
change and then not comply with the requirements of a
corresponded regulation. The transceiver warranty does not
cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification.
DO NOT
use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces.
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver will become hot when
operating it continuously for long periods of time.
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver meets IP67* requirements
for dust-tight and waterproof protection. However, once the
transceiver has been dropped, dust-tight and waterproof
protection cannot be guaranteed because of possible
damage to the transceiver’s case or the waterproof seal.
* Only when the jack cover or the optional HM-168LWP,
HS-94LWP, or HS-95LWP is attached.
MAKE SURE
to turn the transceiver power OFF before
connecting the supplied or optional equipment.
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current
still flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack from the
transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the
installed battery pack will become exhausted, and will need
to be recharged or replaced.
