The following precautions are intended to prevent harm to you and
others as well as damage to equipment. Become familiar with the
precautions before using the receiver to ensure correct and safe
operation.
To prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, or explosion, follow these safety
guidelines.
• Do not insert metallic objects between electrical contacts of the receiver,
accessories, or connecting cables.
• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, modify, heat, solder, or burn batteries. Do not
use or charge batteries that have swollen, or batteries not specified in this manual.
• Do not use batteries with the polarity (+/– ends) reversed.
Keep batteries and accessories away from children. In case of accidental ingestion,
consult a physician immediately. Chemicals in batteries may harm the stomach and
intestines.
When disposing of batteries, insulate the electrical contacts with tape to prevent
contact with metallic objects or other batteries, which may cause fire or explosion.
In case of excessive heat, smoke, or fumes, immediately remove the batteries, being
careful to avoid burns. Continued use in this state may cause fire or burns.
Do not operate the receiver while driving. This poses a risk of traffic accidents.
If the receiver will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery to avoid
damaging or soiling the unit.
Do not use the receiver where there is flammable gas. There is a risk of explosion or fire.
If the receiver is dropped and internal parts are exposed, do not touch the exposed
parts. There is a risk of electrical shock.
Do not disassemble or modify the receiver. High-voltage internal parts may cause
electrical shock.
Do not store the receiver in dusty or humid places. There is a risk of fire or electrical
shock.
Before using the receiver on board airplanes or in hospitals, make sure use is
permitted. Electromagnetic waves emitted by the receiver may interfere with
instrumentation or medical equipment.
