Safe radio operation
Warning: Observe the following safe operating practices:
■ Switch the radio off at filling stations or near flammable
liquids or gases.
■ Switch the radio off in the vicinity of explosive devices
and blasting zones.
■ Using a handheld microphone or a radio while driving a
vehicle may violate the laws and legislation that apply in
your country or state. Please check the regulations
in your area.
High radio surface temperatures
The bottom surface of the radio and the heatsink fins can
become hot during prolonged operation. Do not touch these
parts of the radio.
Radio protection when charging the vehicle battery
Always remove the fuses from the radio power cable before
charging the vehicle battery, connecting a second battery or
using power from another vehicle (e.g. when jump-starting
the vehicle).
GPS operation
Tait Electronics Limited is not responsible for the operation or
failure of operation of GPS satellites or the availability of GPS
satellite signals.
