WHEN CONDENSATION OCCURS INSIDE THE TRANSCEIVER
Condensation may occur inside the transceiver in such a case where the room is warmed using
a heater on cold days or where the transceiver is quickly moved from a cold room to a warm room.
When condensation occurs, the microcomputer and/or the transmit/receive circuits may become
unstable, resulting in transceiver malfunction. If this happens, turn OFF the transceiver and just
wait for a while. When the condensation droplets disappear, the transceiver will function normally.
