RWARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits 
Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Caution should be observed 
when operating this device. If you have any questions re-
garding RF exposure and safety standards please refer to 
the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engi-
neering and Technology’s report on Evaluating Compliance 
with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electro-
magnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65)
RWARNING! 
NEVER hold the transceiver so that 
the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of 
the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The 
transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm 
away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with 
an earphone, headphones or other audio accessories at 
high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continu-
ous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in 
your ears, reduce the volume level or discontinue use.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while 
driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—
anything less may result in an accident.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of 
more than 16 V DC. This will ruin the transceiver.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using 
reverse polarity. This will ruin the transceiver.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electri-
cal blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-
mit.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when 
operating it continuously for long periods.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sun-
light or in areas with temperatures below –20°C or above 
+60°C.
Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by 
children.
DO NOT use of chemical agents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver’s 
surfaces.
