NOTICES TO THE USER

◆

GOVERNMENT LAW PROHIBITS THE OPERATION OF UNLICENSED RADIO TRANSMITTERS WITHIN THE TERRITORIES UNDER GOVERNMENT CONTROL.

◆

ILLEGAL OPERATION IS PUNISHABLE BY FINE OR IMPRISONMENT OR BOTH.

◆

REFER SERVICE TO QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS ONLY.

SAFETY: It is important that the operator is aware of, and understands, hazards common to the operation of any transceiver.

WARNING!

◆

EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES (GASES, DUST, FUMES, etc.)

Turn OFF your transceiver while taking on fuel or while parked in a gasoline service station. Do not carry spare fuel containers in the trunk of your vehicle if your transceiver is mounted in the trunk area.

◆

INJURY FROM RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSIONS

Do not operate your transceiver when somebody is within two to three feet of the antenna, to avoid the possibility of radio frequency burns or related physical injury.

◆

DYNAMITE BLASTING CAPS

Turn OFF your transceiver when in an area where blasting is in progress, or where “TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO” signs have been posted. Operating the transceiver within 150 meters (500 feet) of dynamite blasting caps may cause them to explode. If you are carrying blasting caps in your vehicle, make sure they are enclosed in a metal box with a padded interior. Do not transmit while the caps are being placed into or are being removed from the container.

Note:

This instruction manual covers only the basic functions of the transceiver. Consult your dealer

for more detailed information.
