HYT TC-980 Manual page 4

Thank you for purchasing the HYT transceiver.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using the transceiver.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL–This instruction manual contains important
operating instructions for the transceiver.
• Body-worn operations are restricted to belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that
have no metallic component in the assembly and that provide at least 1.5 cm separation
between the device, including its antenna, and the user's body
• If you wear a portable two-way radio on your body, ensure that the antenna is at least 2.5
centimeters (1 in.) from your body when transmitting.
RF CAUTION! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is very close to, or
touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The
transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 2 to 4 in. (5 to 10 cm) away from the lips
and the transceiver is vertical.
RF CAUTION! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories
at high volume levels.
RF CAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures
below +14°F (–10°C) or above +122°F (+50°C). The basic operations, transmission and
reception of the transceiver, are guaranteed within the specified operating temperature
range (depending on version). However, the LCD display may not be operate correctly, or
show an indication in the case of long hours of operation, or after being placed in
extremely cold areas.
DO NOT modify the transceiver for any reason.
KEEP the transceiver from the heavy rain, and never immerse it in the water. The
transceiver construction is water resistant, not waterproof.
The use of non HYT battery packs/chargers may impair transceiver performance and
