PRECAUTIONS

R WARNING! NEVER

outlet. This may pose a re hazard or result in an electric shock.

R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a power

source of more than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This

could cause a re or damage the transceiver.

R WARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable between

the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged.

R WARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where normal

operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.

R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver during a

lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a re or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power source and antenna before a storm.

CAUTION: DO NOT allow children to touch the

transceiver. Place the transceiver in a secure place to

avoid inadvertent use by unauthorized persons.

CAUTION: DO NOT expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.

CAUTION: DO NOT use the non-specied microphone. Other microphones have different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.

CAUTION: DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas

with temperatures below –25°C or above +55°C, or in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.

CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver without

running the vehicle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out when the transceiver transmits while the vehicle’s engine is OFF.

CAUTION: DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively

dusty environments.

CAUTION: DO NOT place the transceiver against walls. This will obstruct heat dissipation.

CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they will damage the

transceiver surfaces.

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when

operating continuously for long periods of time.
