PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: DO NOT
attach the battery unless the flexible
antenna, battery pack and jack cover are securely attached to
the transceiver. Confirm that the antenna and battery pack are
dry before attaching. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to
dust or water can cause serious damage to the transceiver.
After exposure to water, clean the battery contacts thoroughly
with fresh water and dry them completely to remove any water
or salt residue.
NEVER
connect the transceiver to a power source other than
the BP-251 (option) or BP-252. Such a connection will ruin the
transceiver.
DO NOT
operate or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or above +60°C
(+140°F).
DO NOT
use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol when
cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces.
DO NOT
push [PTT] when not actually intending to transmit.
DO NOT
modify the transceiver. The transceiver warranty does
not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modifications.
PLACE
the transceiver in a secure place to avoid inadvertent
use by unauthorized persons.
KEEP
the transceiver at least 0.9 meters (3.0 ft) away from
your vessel's magnetic navigation compass.
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver's right-side panel will become
hot when operating continuously for long periods of time.
(Continued)
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver meets IPX7* requirements
for waterproof protection. However, once the transceiver has
been dropped, waterproof protection cannot be guaranteed
because of possible damage to the transceiver's case or the
waterproof seal.
* Only when the BP-251 (option) or BP-252, flexible antenna, [SP
MIC] cap is attached.
MAKE SURE
to turn OFF the transceiver power before con-
necting or disconnecting the supplied or optional accessory.
