WARNING

Do not open the equipment.

Hazardous voltage which can cause electrical shock, burn or serious injury exists inside the equipment. Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment.

Do not disassemble or modify the equipment.

Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can result.

Turn off the power immediately if water leaks into the equipment or the equipment is emitting smoke or fire.

Continued use of the equipment can cause fibre or electrical shock.

CAUTION

The life of the battery pack is about 300 cycles of charge and discharge A sure indication of an expired battery pack is necessary, please return expired batteries to a FURUNO authorized agent or dealer.

The shelf life of the emergency battery (yellow) is five years.

New Ni-cd batteries which have been stored for a long time whiteout being charged cannot deliver full performance on first charge. (This is characteristic of the Ni-cd battery.) Full performance cab be restored by subjecting the battery to three to four cycles of charging and discharging.

Charging a partially discharged battery greatly shortens its usage time. To get full performance from the battery, allow it to fully discharge before recharging it.

Any repair work must be done by a licensed radio technician.

Improper repair work can cause electrical shock or file.

Carry emergency battery pack (yellow color, seal attached) on board lifeboat for use in emergency.
