Warning

Do not operate the transceiver unless you are licensed to do so.

Remove the batteries from the transceiver if it is not expected to be used for long periods. This will eliminate the possibility of chemicals leaking from the batteries and corroding the transceiver.

Avoid exposing the transceiver to water or extremes of temperature.

Do not use this device in or near a mining facility, which uses remotely triggered explosives or in areas labeled “Blasting Area”. Premature or accidental detonation may result.

Do not attempt to modify or in any way increase the output of this transceiver. Its output is designed to meet the legal limits set by the FCC.

Do not use this device or change its batteries in potentially explosive atmospheres as sparks in such areas could result in an explosion.

Turn your transceiver off wherever posted notices restrict the use of radios or cellular telephones. Facilities such as hospitals may use equipment that is sensitive to RF energy.

Turn your transceiver off on board aircraft when requested to do so.

Do not place your radio in front of a vehicle’s air-bag. If the air-bag deploys, it could propel the transceiver like a projectile causing bodily injury.
