2.2 Warnings
!
DO NOT TRANSMIT WITH THE DAMAGED ANTENNA OR WITHOUT THE ANTENNA
CONNECTED- although the radio is protected, this may seriously damage its R.F. power stages.
Do not use your transceiver if the antenna is damaged.
!
Keep the antenna at least from your head and body during transmission.
!
Do not hold the transceiver by the antenna! This is a delicate part of the device and is vital
for the proper functioning of the radio.
!
Pay attention to environmental conditions – although the radio was designed to operate
under the most severe conditions
it is important to avoid exposure to environments that are
excessively humid or dusty, or to temperatures outside the -15° to +55°C range. Also avoid
exposure to direct sunlight.
!
Avoid strong mechanical shocks and excessive vibration, the radio is designed to bear
mechanical shocks and vibrations, provided that they’re the normal ones borne by any
electrical equipment.
!
Do not use the radio, its accessories, and/or substitute the batteries in potentially explosive
environments. A single spark may cause an explosion.
!
BATTERIES – Strictly follow all the directions and warnings on the batteries stated at chapters 4.3
and 4.4
!
Do not open the radio for any reason! The radio’s precision mechanics and electronics
require experience and specialized equipment; for the same reason, the radio should under
no circumstances be realigned as it has already been calibrated for maximum performance.
Unauthorized opening of the transceiver will void the warranty.
!
Do not use detergents, alcohol, solvents, or abrasives to clean the equipment. Just use a
soft, clean cloth.
If the radio is very dirty, slightly dampen the cloth with a mixture of water
and a neutral soap.
!
Your VHF marine handheld transceiver has a built-in VHF radio transmitter. Be aware that,
when you press the PTT button, the radio emits radio frequency (R.F.) energy.
!
Before using the radio, ensure that all protective covers and parts are in perfect operating
condition, in order to ensure maximum protection against humidity and atmospheric agents.
2.3 Service
We advise you to write the serial number of your transceiver in the space provided below. This
number is found on the rear panel of the transceiver and will be useful in the event of
repair/assistance and/or loss and/or theft.
