PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: DO NOT
use harsh solvents such as ben-
zine or alcohol to clean the transceiver, because they can
damage the transceiver's surfaces.
DO NOT
push the PTT unless you actually intend to trans-
mit.
DO NOT
operate the transceiver near unshielded electri-
cal blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT
use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight
or in areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4˚F) or above
+60°C (+140˚F).
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver will become hot when
operating it continuously for long periods of time.
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver meets IPX7* require-
ments for waterproof protection. However, once the trans-
ceiver has been dropped, waterproof protection cannot be
guaranteed because of possible damage to the transceiver's
case or waterproof seal.
* Only when the BP-271 or BP-272 (option), flexible antenna,
[MIC/SP] cap, [DATA/DC IN] cap and [micro SD] slot cap
are attached.
Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by
children.
The BP-273 meets IPX4 requirements for splash resistance.
When it is connected, the transceiver corresponds to IPX4.
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still
flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or batteries from
the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise,
the installed battery pack or batteries will become exhausted,
and will need to be recharged or replaced.
