•Turn off your radio when taking on fuel or parked at gasoline service stations.
•Turn off your radio when on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable
regulations per airline crew instructions.•Do not use any radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with the skin when the radio is in use, a burn can result.•Turn off your radio
before removing or installing accessories.
•When the transceiver is used for long transmissions, the radiator and chassis will become hot.
Protect your hearing
• Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job. Turn up the volume only if you are in
noisy surroundings.
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at high volume.
• When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place the radio's speaker directly against your
ear.
• Use carefully with the earphone maybe possible excessive sound pressure from earphones and
headphones can cause hearing loss.
CAUTION: Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods of time may temporarily or
permanently affect your hearing. The louder the radio's volume, the less time is required before your
hearing could be affected. Hearing damage from loud noise is sometimes undetectable at first and can have
a cumulative effect.
Batteries Safety
•WARNING: KEEP NEW OR OLD USED BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
•In the event of a battery leaking, do not allow the liquid to come into contact with the skin or eyes. If contact
has been made, wash the affected area with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice
immediately.
•If a radio or a battery has been submerged in water, please dry and clean it before use. Do not dry the
radio or battery with an appliance or heat source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven. If the radio has
been submersed in a corrosive substance (e.g. saltwater), rinse the radio and battery in fresh water, then
dry them.
•Since batteries are sensitive to high temperatures when storing them, keep them in a cool and dry place.
The recommended temperature should be between +10 ℃and +25℃and never exceed +30℃. Batteries
should therefore not be stored next to radiators or boilers nor in direct sunlight. Extremes of humidity (below
35% and above 95% relative humidity for sustained periods should be avoided since they are detrimental to
both batteries and packing. Although the storage life of batteries at room temperature is good, storage is
improved at lower temperatures provided special precautions are taken. Also, accelerated warming is
harmful.
Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment that can result in an explosion
or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas;
A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable
liquid or gas.
•Turn off your radio before removing or installing a battery. Store spare batteries
securely. Dispose of used batteries immediately and safely.
•The battery supply terminals are not to be short-circuit.
•Do not replace the battery in any area labeled "Hazardous Atmosphere".
Any sparks created in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause
explosion or fire.
•When the conductive material such as jewelry, keys or chains touches
exposed terminals of the batteries, may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit the battery) and become
hot to cause bodily injury such as burns. Exercise care in handling any battery, particularly when placing it
inside a pocket, purse or other container with metal objects;
•Dirty battery contacts need to be wiped with clean dry cloth, both on the battery and in the appliance.
•Batteries should be removed from the appliance when not being used for long periods of time (months).
The batteries should be enclosed in special protective packaging (such as sealed plastic bags or variants)
which should be retained to protect them from condensation during the time they are warming to ambient
temperature.
•Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the equipment.
•Do not dismantle, open or shred batteries. Batteries should be dismantled only by trained people.
•Disposal of a battery into fire, or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, that can result
