2. The radio has been designed to maximize performance and
improve transmission range in the field. To avoid interference, it
is recommended that you do not use the units closer than 2
meters away from each other.
3. To increase battery life, use the SCAN feature only where
necessary. This feature will reduce operating time considerably.
10. Notes for Good Communication
Warning
•
Remove the batteries from the transceiver if it is not expected to
be used for long periods. This will eliminate the possibility of
chemicals leaking from the batteries and corroding the
transceiver.
•
Avoid exposing the transceiver to water or extremes of
temperature.
•
Do not use this device in or near a mining or factory facilities,
where remotely triggered explosives are used, or in areas
labelled "Blasting Area" or “Explosion Protected”.
•
Do not attempt to modify or in any way increase the output of
this transceiver. Its output is designed to meet the legal limits.
•
Do not use this device or charge its batteries in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
•
Turn your transceiver off wherever posted notices restrict the
use of radios or cellular telephones.
•
Facilities such as hospitals may use equipment that is sensitive
to RF energy, because of this reason most hospitals do not
allow the use of any private radio sets!
•
Turn your transceiver off on board aircraft when requested to do
so.
•
Do not place your radio in front of a vehicle's air-bag. If the air-
bag deploys, it could propel the transceiver like a projectile
causing severe injuries.
