one enclosed or specified.
This may result in fire, electric shock and
equipment malfunctions.
When connecting a DC power cord, be certain the positive and negative polarities are
correct.
Reverse connection will result in equipment
damage.
When transmitting, keep the transceiver at
least 5.0 mm (3/16 inch) away from your body.
Use only the supplied antenna. Do not use
modified or damaged antennas.
Disconnect the power cord and connection
cables before installing separately sold accessory items, or replacing the fuse.
This may result in fire, electric shock and
equipment failure.
Follow the instructions provided when installing items sold separately and replacing
the fuse.
This may result in fire, electric shock and
equipment failure.
Use only the provided or specified screws.
Using screws of a different size, may result in
fire, electric shock and component damage.
Do not place the transceiver in a confined
space, such as a bookshelf which is not
ventilated well.
This may result in overheating and fire, electric
shock and equipment failure.
Do not operate the transceiver on a carpet
or a blanket.
This may result in overheating and fire, electric
shock and equipment failure.
If a foreign substance is spilled into the
transceiver, turn it OFF immediately and
remove the power plug from the outlet.
