R WARNING! NEVER transmit for long periods of time.
During prolonged transmissions at high power or mid
power, the transceiver radiates heat to protect itself from
overheating. The transceiver's chassis will become hot
and may cause a burn.
To prevent the transceiver's overheating, the default
setting of the time-out timer function is set to 5 minutes.
Be careful when the time-out timer function is turned OFF
or set to a long time period, and you transmit for long
periods.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver where heat
dissipation will be obstructed if the transceiver is also
being charged with an external power supply. Poor heat
dissipation may cause a burn, warp the casing or damage
the transceiver.
CAUTION: DO NOT transmit without an antenna. This
may damage the transceiver.
NOTE: When the transceiver becomes hot, the
transceiver's heat protection function gradually reduces
the output power to approximately 2.5 watts, then it
stops transmission after that. This is done to protect the
transceiver itself until it can cool down.
NOTE: You can transmit on only the amateur band
frequencies.
