1.  General Information about the RV-M8-EA2 

1.1.  Congratulations! 

Congratulations on your purchase of a 

RV-M80-EA2

 OEM radio.   

Please take a few minutes to read this manual carefully. The information presented here 
will allow you to derive maximum performance from your radio modem.  After reading it, 
keep the manual handy for quick reference, in case questions arise later on.   

1.2.  NOTICE 

There are no user-serviceable points inside this transceiver. All service work must be 
referred to your Authorized Service Center or Raveon Technologies Service Department. 

IMPORTANT NOTICE !

 

Because of the nature of wireless communication, transmission and reception of data can never be 
guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors), or be totally lost. Significant delays 
or losses of data are rare when wireless devices, such as the Viper SC, are used in a normal 
manner with a well-constructed network.  

This radio should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in 
damage of any kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, 
or loss of property.  

Raveon accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data 
transmitted or received using Viper SC, or for the failure of Viper SC to transmit or receive such 
data.

 

 

1.3.  Safety / Warning Information 

Service 

This equipment should be serviced by qualified technicians only.

 

Blasting Caps and Blasting Areas 

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off this radio or remove the DC 
power when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: 

Turn off two-way radio

.” Obey all signs and instructions.  

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres 

Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive 

atmosphere.  Do 

not install this product for use in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres.  Do not 
remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas.  Sparks 

in a potentially explosive 

atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. 

Note: 

The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fueling areas such as 

below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or 
particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to 
turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.
