than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This connection will ruin
the transceiver.
NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and

USE the supplied microphone only. Other microphones
have different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tempera-
tures below –22°F (–30°C) or above +140°F (+60°C), or in areas
subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard of a vehicle.

cle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out if the
transceiver is in transmission 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 alco-
hol when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver surfaces.
