Safety Information
Every radio, when transmitting, radiates energy into the atmosphere that may, under
certain conditions, cause the generation of sparks. All users of our radios should be
aware of the following warning:
Do not operate this radio in an explosive atmosphere (petroleum fuels,
solvents, dust, etc.)!
During normal use, the radio will subject you to radio frequency energy substantially
below the level where any kind of harm is reported.
TO ENSURE PERSONAL SAFETY,
please observe the following simple rules
:
•
DO NOT
transmit when the antenna is very close to, or touching, exposed parts of the
body, especially the face and eyes.
•
DO NOT
transmit on a busy channel.
•
DO NOT
press the transmit (PTT) key when not actually desiring to transmit.
•
DO NOT
transmit in closed aircraft or vehicles with the antenna (or part of it) inside the
cabin. This may cause malfunction of the avionics or trigger the airbag! Always operate
the radio
FSG 90F(X)
with a suitable outside / external antenna! Assure appropriate
lightning protection where elevated outdoor antennas are used.
•
DO NOT
operate the radio whilst driving. It should also be noticed that the use of a
hand held microphone while driving could constitute an offence under the Road Traffic
Regulations in certain countries.
•
DO NOT
allow children to play with any radio equipment containing a transmitter.
•
DO NOT
call radio’s SET-UP in flight or whilst driving a vehicle. Transmit and receive
are partially disabled!
•
After each SET-UP check all settings of the radio and cockpit instruments for correct
function before the next flight or application!
•
Always switch OFF the radio first when installing the unit into vehicles or aircraft when
removing from it!
•
Always switch OFF the radio first when starting an engine or vehicle!
•
When operating the
FSG 90F(X)
on a 24 Vdc source a suitable Voltage Converter
24 Vdc/12 Vdc of at least 4 Amps must be used!
•
The
FSG 90F(X)
may be used exclusively for communication on the airband
frequencies.
•
Unauthorized modifications and changes of the system
are forbidden
.
•
When replacing defective parts use only original spare parts or standard parts
recommended by the manufacturer!
•
In aircraft or vehicles a suitable noise canceling microphone or headset for aircraft
radios shall be used.
•
A backup microphone should always be carried during any flight. Even new
microphones can fail.
•
Volume is very important. Increasing speaking levels while the lips are facing the
microphone, but not straining or pushing to yelling levels will increase clarity.
