Information on Disposal of Old Electrical and Electronic Equipment and Batteries (applicable for EU
countries that have adopted separate waste collection systems)
Products and batteries with the symbol (crossed-out wheeled bin) cannot be disposed as
household waste.
Old electrical and electronic equipment and batteries should be recycled at a facility capable
of handling these items and their waste byproducts.
Contact your local authority for details in locating a recycle facility nearest to you.
Proper recycling and waste disposal will help conserve resources whilst preventing
detrimental effects on our health and the environment.

WHEN CONDENSATION OCCURS INSIDE THE TRANSCEIVER
Condensation may occur inside the transceiver in such a case where the room is warmed using
a heater on cold days or where the transceiver is quickly moved from a cold room to a warm room.
When condensation occurs, the microcomputer and/or the transmit/receive circuits may become
unstable, resulting in transceiver malfunction. If this happens, turn OFF the transceiver and just
wait for a while. When the condensation droplets disappear, the transceiver will function normally.
