Operational Cautions

Note: The areas with potentially explosive

atmospheres referred to above include
fueling areas such as below decks on
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities, areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such
as grain, dust or metal powders, and
any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine. Areas with potentially
explosive atmospheres are often but
not always posted.

Blasting Caps and Areas

To avoid possible interference with blasting
operations, turn off your radio product when you
are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area,
or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey
all signs and instructions.

Operational Cautions

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage and/or
bodily injury, such as burns if a conductive material
such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches
exposed terminals. The conductive material may
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and
become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any

charged battery, particularly when placing it inside
a pocket, purse, or other container with metal
objects. To reduce the risk of injury, batteries
should not be exposed to fire, disassembled, or
crushed.

Cleaning and Drying Considerations

Using a leather carry case may help protect the
surfaces and help prevent liquids (e.g., rain) from
entering into the interior of the radio product. This
product is not water proof, and exposing the unit to
liquids may result in permanent damage to the unit.

If your radio product interior gets wet, then do not
try to accelerate drying with the use of an oven or a
dryer as this will damage the radio product and
void the warranty. Instead, do the following:

1 Immediately power off the radio product.
2 Remove Battery and SIM card (if so equipped)

from radio product.

3 Shake excess liquid from radio product.
4 Place the radio product and battery in an area

that is at room temperature and has good air
flow.

5 Let the radio product, battery, and SIM card dry

for 72 hours before reconnecting the battery
and/or powering on the radio product.
