carry spare fuel containers in the trunk of your vehicle if your transceiver is mounted in the trunk area.
◆INJURY FROM RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSIONS
Do not operate your transceiver when somebody is either touching the antenna or standing within

your vehicle, make sure they are carried in a closed metal box with a padded interior. Do not
transmit while the caps are being placed into or removed from the container.
