the transceiver might be damaged.
NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of
the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily
injury.
NEVER allow children to touch the transceiver.
NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
USE supplied microphone only. Other microphones have
different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below –30°C or above +60°C or, in areas subject
to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
AVOID operate the transceiver without running the vehi-
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 ob-
struct heat dissipation.
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods.
