Warning
•
Do not operate the transceiver unless you are licensed to do so.
•
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 facility, which uses remotely
triggered explosives or in areas labeled “Blasting Area”. Premature or
accidental detonation may result.
•
Do not attempt to modify or in any way increase the output of this
transceiver. Its output is designed to meet the legal limits set by the FCC.
•
Do not use this device or change its batteries in potentially explosive
atmospheres as sparks in such areas could result in an explosion.
•
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.
•
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 bodily
injury.
