Warnings and Safety Information
WARNING
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in injury or even death.
NOTE:
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always clearly marked. They
include fuelling areas such as below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities;
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any
other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your radio OFF near electrical blasting caps
or in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two way radios.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI). To avoid the
possibility of electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any
location where posted notices instruct you to do so such as health care facilities.
CAUTION
This radio is designed for operation on a 12 Volt battery system. It should not be connected directly
to a 24 Volt system.
When installing your radio in your vehicle, check that during installation you do not damage any
wiring or vehicle components that may be hidden around the mounting position.
Ensure the installation does not interfere with the operation of the vehicle and meets all regulatory
and safety retirements for accessories fitted to your vehicle.
For optimum performance, your radio needs to be installed correctly. If you are unsure about how
to install your radio, we suggest you have your radio professionally installed by a UHF specialist or
Auto electrician. When installing the radio, avoid mounting it close to heaters or air conditioners.
Never press the PTT button before connecting the antenna to the radio.
