General Safety Information

Portable Operation
DO NOT hold the radio so that the antenna
is very close to, or touching, exposed parts
of the body, especially the face or eyes, while
transmitting. The radio will perform best if
it is held in the same manner as you would
hold a telephone handset, with the antenna
angled up and over your shoulder. Speak
directly into the mouthpiece.
DO NOT operate the telephone in an
airplane.
DO NOT allow children to play with any
radio equipment containing a transmitter.
Mobile Operation (Vehicle Adaptor)
As with other mobile radio transmitting
equipment, users are advised that for satis-
factory operation of the equipment and for
the safety of personnel, it is recommended
that no part of the human body shall be
allowed to come within 20 centimeters of the
antenna during operation of the equipment.
DO NOT jump start vehicle or use an auto-
motive battery charger while the vehicle
adapter option and the portable radiotele-
phone are connected to the vehicle electrical
system as this may cause serious damage to
the radio. Disconnect the radio by removing
the cable kit fuses.
vi
DO NOT operate this equipment near elec-
trical blasting caps or in an explosive atmo-
sphere. Mobile telephones are under certain
conditions capable of interfering with
blasting operations. When in the vicinity of
construction work, look for and observe
signs cautioning against mobile radio trans-
mission. If transmission is prohibited, the
cellular telephone must be turned off to
prevent any transmission. In standby mode,
the mobile telephone will automatically transmit
to acknowledge a call if it is not turned off.
All equipment must be properly grounded
according to installation instructions for safe
operation.
Portable/Mobile Telephone Use
and Driving
Safety is every driver's business. The
portable telephone should only be used in
situations in which the driver considers it
safe to do so. Use of a cellular portable while
driving may be illegal in some areas.
Refer to the appropriate section of the
product service manual for additional perti-
nent safety information.
