hearing could be affected. Hearing damage from loud noise
is sometimes undetectable at first and can have a cumulative effect.
Avoid Burns
WARNING
Antennas
•Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes into contact with the skin when the radio is in use, a minor burn can result.
Batteries (If appropriate)
•When the conductive material such as jewelry, keys or chains touch exposed
terminals of the batteries, may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit the battery)
and become hot to cause bodily injury such as burns. Exercise care in handling any
battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse or other container with
metal objects
Long transmission
•When the transceiver is used for long transmissions, the radiator and chassis will
become hot.
