Avoid Choking Hazard

⚠️ Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years.

Protect Your Hearing

⚠️ Use the lowest volume necessary. Turn up the volume only if in noisy surroundings. Turn down the volume before adding a headset or earpiece.

Turn Off Your Radio Power In The Following Conditions:

⚠️ Turn off your radio before removing/installing a battery or accessory, or when charging. Turn off your radio in potentially hazardous environments (e.g., near electrical blasting caps, in blasting areas, explosive atmospheres with flammable gas, dust, or metallic powders). Turn off your radio while taking on fuel or parked at gasoline service stations.

To Avoid Electromagnetic Interference and/or Compatibility Conflicts:

⚠️ Turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so, such as hospitals or health care facilities where sensitive medical devices (pacemakers, hearing aids) may be in use. Turn off your radio when on board an aircraft. Use must comply with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.

Avoid Burns

⚠️ Antennas: Do not use a portable radio with a damaged antenna. Contact with a damaged antenna can cause minor burns. ⚠️ Batteries: Be cautious when handling batteries. Conductive materials like jewelry, keys, or chains touching exposed terminals can short-circuit the battery, causing heat and potential burns. Avoid placing batteries in pockets or containers with metal objects. ⚠️ Long Transmission: When transmitting for extended periods, the radiator and chassis may become hot.

Safety Operation

Forbid:

• Do not use the charger outdoors or in moist environments; use only in dry locations.
• Do not disassemble the charger, as this may result in electrical shock or fire.
• Do not operate the charger if it is broken or damaged.
• Do not place the portable radio in or near an airbag deployment area. The radio may be propelled with great force during airbag inflation, causing serious injury.

To Reduce Risk:
