NOTICES TO THE USER
Government law prohibits the operation of unlicensed transmitters within the territories under
government control.
Illegal operation is punishable by fine and/or imprisonment.
Refer service to qualified technicians only.
SAFETY: It is important that the operator is aware of, and understands, hazards
common to the operation of any transceiver.
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES (GASES, DUST, FUMES, etc.)
Turn OFF your transceiver while taking on fuel or while parked in gasoline service stations. Do not
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
2 to 3 feet of it, to avoid the possibility of radio frequency burns or related physical injury.
DYNAMITE BLASTING CAPS
Operating the transceiver within 500 feet (150 m) of dynamite blasting caps may cause them to
explode. Turn OFF your transceiver when in an area where blasting is in progress, or where
"TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO" signs have been posted. If you are transporting blasting caps in
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.
