RWARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits
Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Caution should be observed
when operating this device. If you have any questions re-
garding RF exposure and safety standards please refer to the
Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering
and Technology’s report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC
Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electromagnetic
Fields (OET Bulletin 65)
RWARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the
antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the
body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The
transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm
(2 to 4 inches) away from the lips and the transceiver is verti-
cal.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a
earphone, headphones or other audio accessories at high
volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous
high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your
ears, reduce the volume level or discontinue use.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while
driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—
anything less may result in an accident.
NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
The transceiver may be damaged.
NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands.
This may result in an electric shock or damage the trans-
ceiver.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-
mit.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14˚F) or above
+60°C (+140˚F).
Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by
children.
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver’s
surfaces.
