Safety
Your 75-440 handheld transceiver has been carefully designed to give you years of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment, however, there are a few basic precautions you should take to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the radio:
•Read the instructions in this handbook carefully. Be sure to save it for future reference.
•Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the radio itself.
•Do not carry the transceiver by the antenna. This may damage the antenna or antenna terminal. Grasp it by its base (not the tip!) when you need to place or remove it.
•Do not keep the radio with the antenna very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, while transmitting. The radio will perform best if the microphone is 5-10 cm away from the mouth and the radio is vertical.
