DO NOT
operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blast-
ing caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT
push [PTT] when you do not actually intend to transmit.
DO NOT
operate or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –25°C or above +55°C.
DO NOT
modify the transceiver. The specifications may change
and then not comply with the requirements of a corresponded
regulation. The transceiver warranty does not cover any problems
caused by unauthorized modification.
DO NOT
use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol when
cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces.
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver will become hot when operating
it continuously for long periods of time.
KEEP
the transceiver away from heavy rain, and never immerse
it in the water. The transceiver meets IP54* requirements for dust-
protection and splash resistance. However, once the transceiver
has been dropped, dust-protection and splash resistance cannot
be guaranteed because of possible damage to the transceiver’s
case or the waterproof seal.
* Only when the battery pack/case and jack cover are attached.
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still flows in
the circuits. Remove the battery pack from the transceiver when not
using it for a long time. Otherwise, the installed battery pack will be-
come exhausted, and will need to be recharged or replaced.
MAKE SURE
to turn OFF the transceiver power before connect-
ing the supplied/optional equipment.
