Safety

The TERA handheld transceiver has been carefully designed to provide you with years of safe, reliable operation. As with all electrical equipment, however, there are a few basic precautions you should take to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the radio:

• Read the instructions in this handbook carefully. Be sure to save it for future reference.

• Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the radio and owner’s manual.

• Do not carry the transceiver by the antenna. This may damage the antenna or antenna terminal. Grasp the handheld by its base (not the antenna) when you need to place or remove it.

• Do not keep the radio with the antenna very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, while transmitting. TERA radios will perform best, if you speak 2-4 inches away from the microphone and the radio is vertical.

• Be sure the “PTT” key is not pressed when you do not need to transmit.

• Do not operate the radio near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.

• Do not transmit without the antenna fitted on the radio. Though it is provided with a protection, it may damage the TX output final stage.

• Respect the environment conditions. The radio is designed to be used in heavy environments, however avoid exposing it to extremely hot or cold temperature (out of the range between –20 to +140°F). Do not expose the transceiver to excessive vibrations as well as dusty or rainy locations.

• Never try to disassemble or service the radio by yourself (aside from the routine maintenance described in this handbook). It may cause damage to the radio transceiver and void your warranty requiring extensive repair work. Always contact your local dealer for assistance.

• Use only authorized accessories. Using non TERA radio brand accessories may seriously damage your handheld transceiver and void your warranty.

• Do Not spill liquid of any kind into your radio. If the transceiver gets wet, immediately dry it by a soft and clean cloth.

• Switch the radio off before you clean it. Follow the directions described in the paragraph “Care and maintenance”.

• Handle the battery properly. Never place the LI-ion battery in your pocket or purse with loose coins. This could result in short circuiting the battery.

• Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed for the supplied battery charger (AC adapter). If you are not sure, check with your authorized TERA dealer

• Avoid damaging the power cable of the battery charger. Do not step on or place anything on it as this could result in a damaged charger power cord. This product complies with the requirements of the Council Directives 89/336/EEC and 73/23/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the member states relating to electromagnetic compatibility and low voltage..
