Safety Precautions (Be Sure to Read)

 WARNING

Do not use the device in “regions or aircrafts and 

vehicles where its use is prohibited” such as in 

hospitals and airplanes.

This may exert an impact on electronic and medical 

devices.

Do not use this product while driving or riding a 

motorbike. This may result in accidents.

Make sure to stop the car in a safe location first 

before use if the device is going to be used by the 

driver.

Do not operate the device when flammable gas 

is generated.

Doing so may result in fire and explosion.
Never touch the antenna during transmission.

This may result in injury, electric shock and equip-

ment failure.

Do not transmit in crowded places in consider-

ation of people who are fitted with medical devic-

es such as heart pacemakers.

Electromagnetic waves from the device may affect 

the medical device, resulting in accidents caused by 

malfunctions.

When an alarm goes off with the external anten-

na connected, cut off the power supply to this 

radio immediately and disconnect the external 

antenna from this radio.

If not, this may result in fire, electric shock and equip-

ment failure.

Do not touch any liquid leaking from the liquid 

display with your bare hands.

There is a risk of chemical burns occurring when 

the liquid comes into contact with the skin or gets 

into the eyes. In this case, seek medical treatment 

immediately.

Do not use voltages other than the specified power 

supply voltage.

Doing so may result in fire and electric shock.
Do not transmit continuously for long periods of time.

This may cause the temperature of the main body 

to rise and result in burns and failures due to over-

heating.
Do not dismantle or modify the device.

This may result in injury, electric shock and equip-

ment failure.

Do not handle the power plug and connector etc. 

with wet hands. Also do not plug and unplug the 

power plug with wet hands.

This may result in injury, liquid leak, electric shock 

and equipment failure.

When smoke or strange odors are emitted from 

the radio, turn off the power and disconnect the 

power cord from the socket.

This may result in fire, liquid leak, overheating, dam-

age, ignition and equipment failure. Please contact 

our company amateur customer support or the retail 

store where you purchased the device.

Keep the power plug pins and the surrounding 

areas clean at all times.

This may result in fire, liquid leak, overheating, 

breakage, ignition etc.

Disconnect the power cord and connection ca-

bles before incorporating items sold separately 

and replacing the fuse.

This may result in fire, electric shock and equipment 

failure.
