Never cut off the fuse holder of the DC pow-
er cord.
This may cause short-circuiting and result in
ignition and fire.
Do not use fuses other than those specified.
Doing so may result in fire and equipment fail-
ure.
Do not allow metallic objects such as wires
and water to get inside the product.
This may result in fire, electric shock and
equipment failure.
Do not place the device in areas that may
get wet easily (e.g. near a humidifier).
This may result in fire, electric shock and
equipment failure.
When connecting a DC power cord, pay due
care not to mix up the positive and negative
polarities.
This may result in fire, electric shock and
equipment failure.
Do not use DC power cords other than the
one enclosed or specified.
This may result in fire, electric shock and
equipment failure.
Do not bend, twist, pull, heat and modify the
power cord and connection cables in an un-
reasonable manner.
This may cut or damage the cables and result
in fire, electric shock and equipment failure.
Do not pull the cable when plugging and
unplugging the power cord and connection
cables.
Please hold the plug or connector when un-
plugging. If not, this may result in fire, electric
shock and equipment failure.
Refrain from using headphones and ear-
phones at a loud volume.
Continuous exposure to loud volumes may re-
sult in hearing impairment.
Do not use the device when the power cord
and connection cables are damaged, and
when the DC power connector cannot be
plugged in tightly.
Please contact YAESU Technical Support or
the retail store where you purchased the de-
vice as this may result in fire, electric shock and
equipment failure.
Follow the instructions given when install-
ing items sold separately and replacing the
fuse.
This may result in fire, electric shock and
equipment failure.

es from the electrical devices (inverters etc.)
fitted in the car.
For safety reasons, switch off the power
and pull out the DC power cord connected
to the DC power connector when the device
is not going to be used for a long period of
time.
If not, this may result in fire and overheating.
