Safety and General Information
The following general safety precautions as would normally apply, should be
observed during all phases of operation, service and repair of this equipment.
This equipment should be serviced by qualified technicians only.
Do not modify the radio for any reason.
Only accessories approved by HYT may be used.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna.
Don not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
For vehicles with an air bag, do not place a radio in the area over an air bag or in
the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a radio is placed
in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be
propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere.
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when
you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn
off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Do not charge your battery in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Do not expose the radio to direct sunlight over a long time, nor place it close to
heating source.
When using your radio, hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone 3
to 4 centimeters away from your lips.
Body-worn operations are restricted to belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories
that have no metallic component in the assembly and that provide at least 1.5 cm
separation between the device, including its antenna, and the user's body."
