PRECAUTION
RWARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 in) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hear- ing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or dis- continue use.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is DC fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection will be protected by this fuse, but higher fuse values will not give any protection against such accidents and the transceiver will be ru- ined.
NEVER attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. Be a ware that external DC power connections will charge batteries inside the battery case. This will damage not only the battery case but also the transceiver.
