Explicit Definitions

• WARNING: ⚠️ Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may occur.
• CAUTION: ? Equipment damage may occur.
• NOTE: ℹ️ If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, fire or electric shock.

Antenna

The antenna is a key element in the performance of any communication system. Contact your dealer for information regarding antennas and how to install them.

Fuse Replacement

A fuse is installed in the supplied DC power cable. If a fuse blows, track down the source of the problem, repair it, and then replace the damaged fuse with a new rated one.

Fuse rating: 250 V 10 A. NOTE: Use only a 10 A fuse.

Fuse rating explanation:
Fuse coding: FUSE 250 V 10 A
Fuse voltage rating: 250 Volts
Fuse current rating: 10 Amperes

Cleaning

If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol, as they can damage the transceiver's surfaces.

Precautions

• WARNING: ⚠️ NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.
• WARNING: ⚠️ NEVER operate the transceiver during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power source and antenna before a storm.
• WARNING: ⚠️ NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This could damage the transceiver.
• WARNING: ⚠️ NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged.
• WARNING: ⚠️ NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
• CAUTION: ? DO NOT expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
• CAUTION: ? DO NOT use a non-specified microphone. Other microphones have different pin assignments and may damage the radio.
• CAUTION: ? DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in areas with temperatures below -25°C or above +55°C, or in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
• CAUTION: ? DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the vehicle's engine. The vehicle's battery will quickly run out when the transceiver transmits while the vehicle's engine is OFF.
• CAUTION: ? DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in excessively dusty environments.
• CAUTION: ? DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or put anything on top of it. Otherwise, heat dissipation will be obstructed.
• CAUTION: ? CONFIRM that all connectors and jacks are dry and clean before attachment. Exposing them to dust or water will result in serious damage to the transceiver.
• CAUTION: ? DO NOT operate the transceiver if it becomes hot after operating it continuously for long periods of time. This may damage the transceiver.
• NEVER place the transceiver in an insecure place to avoid inadvertent use by unauthorized persons.

For European versions:

CAUTION: ? Hot surfaces. DO NOT touch the transceiver's surface after continuously transmitting for long periods of time. The transceiver's chassis radiates heat and will become hot to protect the power amplifier unit from overheating. Touching it may cause a burn.
