Correct use
For best performance, hold the radio vertically and 10 cm away from the head
when talking into the microphone.
Warning! Your VHF radio generates electromagnetic RF (radio
frequency) energy when transmitting. To ensure that you are
not exposed to excessive amounts of energy and thus to avoid
health hazards from excessive exposure to RF energy, all
persons must be at least 5 cm away from the antenna when the
radio is transmitting.
