The transceiver may not receive well on some
frequencies when installed in a hybrid vehicle, or
any type of electric vehicle (fuel cell vehicle). This
is because vehicle's electric components such as
the inverter system generate a lot of electric noise.

• DO NOT use a cigarette lighter socket as a power
source when operating in a vehicle. The plug may
cause voltage drops and ignition noise may be su-
perimposed onto transmit or receive audio.
• Use a rubber grommet when passing the DC
power cable through a metal plate to prevent a
short circuit.
