Safety Training information:
Antennas used for this transmitter must not exceed an antenna gain of 0 dBd. The
radio must be used in vehicle-mount configurations with a maximum operating
duty factor not exceeding 50 %, in typical Push-to-Talk configurations.
This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where the
radio operator must have the knowledge to control the exposure conditions of its
passengers and bystanders by maintaining the minimum separation distance shown
below.
Antenna Installation:
For rear deck trunk installation, the antenna must be located at least the following
distance away from rear-seat passengers.
For roof top installations, the antenna must be placed in the center of the roof.
Warning!
The 70.7 V RF voltage (@45/50 W/50 W) or 50.0 V RF voltage (@25 W/50 W) is
applied to the antenna terminal of the transceiver while transmitting.
Do not touch the TX RF section absolutely while transmitting.
Caution: The radio can become hot.
 Do not operate this radio continuously in transmission mode for longer than 7
minutes. Ensure enough standby/reception time for cool-down between trans-
