Safety Information and Warnings
Radio Operation and EME Exposure
WARNING Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and violate compliance.
Do NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE.” Holding the antenna reduces the effective range.
Do not use the radio if the antenna is damaged. If a damaged antenna makes contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
If you wear a radio on your body when transmitting, always fit the radio on the belt clip (supplied). Always ensure the radio and it's antenna are at least 5cm from your body when transmitting.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI). To avoid the possibility of electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so such as health care facilities.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when onboard an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.
