5. General safety instructions

5.1 Transport safety
NEVER use a hand-held radio unit while operating a vehicle. Park the vehicle
before answering a call or before placing a call yourself. To avoid having the
radio unit fly about in the event of a collision or a sudden braking manoeuvre,
do not place the radio unit on the front passenger's seat or in a place where it
can become dislodged. Always remember the following:
Transport safety takes priority!
5.2 Operating environment
The particular regulations that apply to an area must be observed at all times.
The radio unit must always be turned off if the use of radio units is prohibited
or if it causes interference which may lead to hazardous situations. The device
must always be held in a normal operating position. Since parts of the radio
unit are magnetic, metal parts may be attracted to it.
To avoid metal parts being attracted to the radio unit, you should always
secure the device in a specially-designed holder. Do not allow credit cards
or other magnetic data carriers to come into close proximity to the radio unit,
since the data contained on these items could be deleted.
