Precautions

This apparatus is capable of two-way communi-
cation on channels used for critical aviation safety
communications. Therefore, it is important that
this radio be kept away from children or other
unauthorized users at all times.
When making DC connections via the E-DC-5B
DC cable, be absolutely certain to observe the
proper voltage level and polarity guidelines. Do
not connect this radio directly to any 24 ~ 28
Volt DC source, nor to AC power of any kind.
Connecting the VXA-100 directly to a source
which exceeds 15.0 Volts DC will result in dam-
age to the unit.
Do not dispose of the Ni-Cd Battery Pack in a
fire. Do not carry a Ni-Cd Battery Pack in your
pocket, where keys or coins could short the ter-
minals. This could create a serious fire/burn dan-
ger, and possibly cause damage to the Ni-Cd
pack.
Although the VXA-100 is designed to be water
resistant, the enclosure is not "waterproof." Do
not allow the radio to become submersed in wa-
ter, and do not expose it and/or its Ni-Cd Battery
Pack to water spray under pressure.
