PRECAUTIONS
RRWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.
RRWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
RRWARNING! 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.
RRWARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
RRWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire 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-specified 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.
