ABOUT APCO PROJECT 25
AVOID operating the transceiver without running the vehi-
cle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out if the
transceiver transmits while the vehicle’s engine OFF.
AVOID placing the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-
ronments.
AVOID placing the transceiver against walls. This will
obstruct heat dissipation.
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or
alcohol when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods.
For U.S.A. only
