1.3. Safety information
Please read the following for your safety:
This product has been assessed as presenting negligible hazard in a sealed
serviceable state.
Safety analysis
The following table summarises the nature of the hazard which may be present when
the unit is opened or serviced; each hazard is discussed at greater length in the
detailed sections.
Hazard cause Hazard identification Precautions
Lithium battery Explosive risk, corrosive fumes,
fire, biological hazard Handle appropriately, avoid
contact
Radio frequency
radiation Physiological hazard Avoid close or prolonged
exposure
Lithium batteries
Hazardous chemicals
Wear gloves
The batteries used in these products contain Lithium (Li). Lithium is inflammable,
reacts violently with water and constitutes a biological hazard. These batteries are
HAZARDOUS if short-circuited, punctured, incinerated or deformed.
Lithium batteries must not be short circuited.
Lithium batteries must be handled, transported and disposed of using appropriate
safety precautions. The use of rubber gloves as a routine precaution is
recommended.
In the event of leakage of the battery electrolyte (which can be recognised by a
pungent odour), take care to avoid contact, particularly with open wounds; do not
ingest the material. Do not attempt to discharge a leaking battery
– remove it using
appropriate handling materials and seal in a plastic bag, then dispose of it through an
approved environmental disposal agent, or in accordance with local regulations.
Radio frequency radiation
Radio frequency radiation
A handheld VHF radio produces radio frequency radiation when it transmits. The
radiated level is up to 5W for the duration of the transmission. This is above the risk
threshold in some countries. Exposure should be limited. Keep transmissions short.
