Instruction Manual 5
Safety:
It is important that the operator is aware of, and understands, hazards common to the
operation of any transceiver.
Warning
• INJURY FROM RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSIONS Do not operate your
transceiver when somebody is either touching the antenna or standing within two to
three feet of it, to avoid the possibility of radio frequency burns or related physical
injury.
• DYNAMITE BLASTING CAPS Operating the transceiver within 500 feet of
dynamite blasting caps may cause them to explode. Turn OFF your transceiver when
in an area where blasting is in progress, or where “TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO”
signs have been posted. If you are transporting blasting caps in your vehicle, make
sure they are carried in a closed metal box with a padded interior. Do not transmit
while the caps are being placed into or removed from the container.
