2.2 Warnings

! DO NOT TRANSMIT WITH THE DAMAGED ANTENNA OR WITHOUT THE ANTENNA

CONNECTED - although the radio is protected, this may seriously damage its R.F. power

stages. Do not use your transceiver if the antenna is damaged.

! Do not keep the antenna too close to your head and body during transmission.

! Do not hold the transceiver by the antenna! This is a delicate part of the device and is

vital for the proper functioning of the radio.

! Pay attention to environmental conditions - although the radio was designed to operate

under the most severe conditions it is important to avoid exposure to environments that

are excessively humid or dusty, or to temperatures outside the -15° to +55°C° range. Also

avoid exposure to direct sunlight.

! Avoid strong mechanical shocks and excessive vibrations, the radio is designed to bear

mechanical shocks and vibrations, provided that they’re the normal ones borne by any

electrical equipment.

! Do not use the radio, its accessories, and/or substitute the batteries in potentially

explosive environments. A single spark may cause an explosion.

! BATTERIES - Strictly follow all the directions and warnings on the batteries stated at

chapters 4.3 and 4.4

! Do not open the radio for any reason! The radio’s precision mechanics and electronics

require experience and specialized equipment; for the same reason, the radio should

under no circumstances be realigned as it has already been calibrated for maximum

performance. Unauthorized opening of the transceiver will void the warranty.

! Do not use detergents, alcohol, solvents, or abrasives to clean the equipment. Just use

a soft, clean cloth. If the radio is very dirty, slightly dampen the cloth with a mixture of

water and a neutral soap.

! Your VHF marine handheld transceiver has a built-in VHF radio transmitter. Be aware

that, when you press the PTT button, the radio emits radio frequency (R.F.) energy.

! Before using the radio, ensure that all protective covers and parts are in perfect operating

condition, in order to ensure maximum protection against humidity and atmospheric

agents.
