Operational Cautions
Exposure to high volume sound levels may cause temporary or permanent
damage to your hearing. Although there is no single volume setting that is
appropriate for everyone, you should always use your radio with the volume set
at low level and avoid prolonged exposure to high volume sound levels.
1. Set the volume control in a low position and use as low a volume as
possible.
2. Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings. Whenever
possble, use your radio in a quiet environment with low background noise.
3. Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpiece at high volume
levels.
4. When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place the radio’s
speaker directly against your ear.
5. Observe all signs and instructions that require an electrical device or RF
radio product to be switched off in designated areas, such as gas/refueling
stations, hospitals, blasting areas, potentially explosive atmospheres, or
aircraft.
6. If you experience a skin irritation after using this product, discontinue use
and seek medical attention.
7. If the product or charger: overheats; has a damaged cord or plug; has been
dropped or damaged; has been dropped into water, disconnect any charger
from its power supply, discontinue use of the product.
