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 Offce of Engineering
and Technology's report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65).
C
AUTION: DO NOT short the terminals of the battery pack. Shorting may occur if the terminals touch
metal objects such as a key, so be careful when placing the battery packs (or the transceiver) in bags,
and so on. Carry them so that shorting cannot occur with metal objects. Shorting may damage not only
the battery pack but also the transceiver.
C
AUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver unless the fexible antenna, battery pack, and jack cover
are securely attached to the transceiver and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before
attachment. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to dust or water will result in serious damage to the
transceiver. After exposure to water, clean the battery contacts thoroughly with fresh water and dry
them completely to remove any water or salt residue.
C
AUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full
attention—anything less may result in an accident.
CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning. This could damage
the equipment surfaces. If the surface becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.
C
AUTION: DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures
below -20°C (-4°F) or above +60°C (+140°F).
C
AUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver if it becomes hot after continuously transmitting for long
