General Precautions
Do NOT operate your mobile radio, without a hands-free kit, whilst driving a vehicle.
Do NOT operate your radio in an explosive atmosphere – unless the radio’s level of
IECEx approval is approved for use in that atmosphere.
Obey the ‘Turn Off Two-way Radios’ signs where these are posted, e.g. on a petrol
station forecourt.
Do NOT touch the antenna while the radio is transmitting.
Do NOT operate the radio if the antenna has become disconnected or damaged.
Hazardous Substances
Before using any hazardous substance or material, the user must be conversant with
the safety precautions and first aid instructions:
n On the label of the container in which it was supplied.
n On the material Safety Data Sheet.
n In any local Safety Orders and Regulations.
Hints For Using The Radio
When transmitting, hold the radio a few centimetres from your mouth and speak
across it, rather than into it.
Keep the length of your conversation to a minimum to conserve battery life and
replace the microphone on its cradle after use.
When it is possible to move location, avoid making calls from known poor signal-
strength areas such as the radio systems fringe areas (limit of range) or from screened
or shadowed areas, e.g. an underground car park or underpass.
