HANDLING THE BARRYVOX
Like all transceivers, the Barryvox
ferrite antennas. Therefore, you should handle it with utmost
care!
EN
Store the device and the carrying system in a dry spot that is
protected from extreme cold or heat and direct sunshine.
Always check the result of the self- and battery test, pay atten-
tion to alert messages and carry out the group check.
It is your responsibility to frequently check your Barryvox
mechanical damage of the casing, proper function of the main
switch, battery compartment cover as well as cleanliness and
mechanical integrity of the battery contacts.
To ensure the proper performance of the transceiver, it is
highly recommended that you send your device to an official
Barryvox
service center once every three years for a func-
®
tional test. The recommended date of the next check can be
viewed under «Info» in the shut down sequence of the device.
(see chapter «Periodic Checks» of the Barryvox
Reference Manual).
