Precautions
Avoid water and salt in the I/O connector and keep it
clean frequently.
Only use original Thrane & Thrane battery packs. Make
sure they are clean and dry before attaching the
transceiver. Be careful not to damage any gaskets.
Only use the original Thrane & Thrane charger for the
rechargeable battery.
Be very careful when handling the Lithium batteries.
With correct use they are safe but any misuse might
cause dangerous situations.
Never short circuit the battery terminals, never expose
the transceiver and the batteries to extreme temperature
or fire and never use any kind of violence.
Avoid close contact between the antenna and parts of
the human body. The top of the antenna must never be
closer than 5 cm to the body when transmitting.
Do not submerge the transceiver more than 1 m for 30
minutes.
Keep the transceiver at least 0.3 m away from the
magnetic compass.
