PRECAUTIONS
R DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER touch an
antenna or antenna connector while transmitting.
This could cause an electrical shock or burn.
R DANGER! NEVER operate the transceiver near
unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive
atmosphere. This could cause an explosion and
death.
R DANGER! NEVER place the transceiver where
air bag deployment may be obstructed during mobile
operations.
R WARNING RF EXPOSURE! This transceiver
emits Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution
should be observed when operating this transceiver.
If you have any questions regarding RF exposure
and safety standards, please refer to the Federal
Communications Commission O󰀩ce of Engineering
and Technology’s report on Evaluating Compliance
with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65).
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with
earphones or other audio accessories at high volume
levels. The continuous high volume operation may
cause a ringing in your ears. If you experience ringing,
reduce the volume level or discontinue use.
R WARNING! NEVER apply AC power to the [DC
13.8 V] socket on the transceiver rear panel. This
could cause a re or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER apply more than 16 V DC to
the [DC 13.8 V] socket on the transceiver rear panel.
This could cause a re or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER reverse the DC power cable
polarity. This could cause a re or damage the
transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER remove the fuse holder on the
DC power cable. Excessive current caused by a short
could cause a re or damage the transceiver.
