1. SAFETY AND LICENSING INFORMATION
Important Radio Frequency Energy Safety
While transmitting, your DX15 Handheld VHF Air Band Transceiver emits
Radio Frequency (RF) Electromagnetic Energy. Please take the time to
familiarize yourself with the properties of and the proper methods of using
this device.
Maintain at least a 3‐inch (5 cm) gap between this device and your body
while transmitting.
Do not transmit without an antenna attached. Transmitting without an
antenna attached may cause damage to the DX15.
Do not transmit, or allow this device to transmit in areas or conditions that
are inherently hazardous in the presence of radio transmissions, such as
hospitals, in the vicinity of blasting (blasting caps), and around robotic
systems.
Additional Important Safety Information
Your DX15 Handheld VHF Air Band Transceiver uses Li‐Ion batteries. Li‐Ion
batteries are safe when used as directed, but can also be hazardous if they
are not used in accordance with their instructions.
Only charge batteries with Dynon Avionics chargers. Using non‐Dynon
chargers to charge Dynon batteries could cause them to explode.
Do not expose Dynon Li‐Ion batteries to fire or otherwise expose them to
excessive heat.
Do not short the contacts of your Dynon battery. This is most often
accidentally done with small, loose metallic objects, such as coins or keys.
Please dispose of non‐functional batteries in a responsible manner. The
batteries for your DX15 are very similar to mobile phone batteries and can
likely be recycled wherever mobile phone battery recycling is available. For
