Above all….Safety!
Warnings
! Do not open the radio for any reason! The radio’s precision mechanics and elec-
tronics require experience and specialized equipment; for the same reason, the
radio should under no circumstances be realigned as it has already been calibra-
ted for maximum performance. Unauthorized opening of the transceiver will void
the warranty.
! Do not use detergents, alcohol, solvents, or abrasives to clean the equipment.
Just use a soft, clean cloth. If the radio is very dirty, slightly dampen the cloth
with a mixture of water and a neutral soap.
Batteries
! Do not try to charge alkaline batteries or non rechargeable batteries. Make
sure that when you charge the radio, only rechargeable NI-MH batteries should
be contained in the battery compartment! It is very dangerous attempting to
recharge other types of batteries (for example alkaline or manganese batteries).
Batteries which are not suitable to be recharged may leak, explode or even burn
and cause damage!
! Using a different battery charger other than the one specified can cause damage
to your device or may even cause explosions and personal injuries.
! Do not throw batteries into fire or place them near heat as this may cause ex-
plosions or personal injuries. Dispose of the batteries according to procedures set
out by local regulations.
! Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types or batteries
which have been used in different manners.
