1 For Your Safety
Every radio, when transmitting, radiates energy into the atmosphere that may, under
certain conditions, cause the generation of sparks. All users of our radios should be aware
of the following warning:
Do not operate this radio in an explosive atmosphere (petroleum fuels, solvents,
dust, etc.)!
During normal use, the radio will subject you to radio frequency energy substantially below
the level where any kind of harm is reported.
There are no user replaceable parts inside the FSG 2T! If the radio fails it must be
returned to a f.u.n.k.e. AVIONICS GmbH approved repair facility!
The licensee of a radio station is responsible at all times for the proper operation of the
station. Radio operators should use the following guidelines to make this radio a useful
tool for safe and efficient flight:
DO NOT transmit when the antenna is very close to, or touching, exposed parts of the
body, especially the face and eyes. Persons with pacemakers should be aware that
proper functioning may be affected when in the vicinity of the antenna!
DO NOT transmit without antenna connected.
DO NOT operate the radio on an unprotected power supply. Replace a blown fuse only
against correct type with specified nominal value. Investigate the cause.
DO NOT transmit on a busy channel.
DO NOT press the transmit (PTT) key when not actually desiring to transmit.
DO NOT transmit with the antenna inside aircraft or vehicle. This may cause
malfunction of onboard avionics, trigger the vehicle airbag or interfere onboard
instruments! Always operate the radio FSG 2T with a suitable outdoor / external antenna!
Assure appropriate lightning protection / grounding where (elevated) outdoor antennas
are used.
DO NOT operate the radio whilst driving. It should also be noticed that even the use of
a hand held microphone while driving could constitute an offence under the Road
Traffic Regulations in certain countries.
DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment containing a transmitter.
DO NOT use a radio FSG 2T for airborne operation which is marked as "Chann. ONLY
Mode":
Always switch OFF the radio first when installing the unit into vehicles, aircraft or
carrying cases, or when removing from it!
Always switch OFF the radio before starting an aircraft or vehicle engine!
When operating the FSG 2T on a 24 Vdc / 28 Vdc source a suitable Voltage Converter
24 Vdc / 12 Vdc of at least 3 Amps must be used!
The FSG 2T should be used exclusively for aviation related communication purposes.
Unauthorized modifications and changes of the system are forbidden.
