Safe use of your Unit
Carrying the unit
Due to radio frequency emissions, it is unsafe to operate the radio
with the unit in a holster, dangling from a lanyard, or with any
method that keeps the powered unit in very close proximity to the
head or torso. For safe operation, carry the unit in your hand with
the antennas located at least 20 cm (~8 inches) from the head or
torso.
Repair
Do not attempt to dismantle the unit for repair. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside. For service, use the contact details listed on
the cover of this manual or contact your local dealer.
Battery safety
• Use only the battery supplied with your unit to power the unit. Use
of other power sources could damage the unit, void your warranty
and pose safety hazards.
• Caution: Do not expose to temperatures above 70 C (158 °F) Do
not short external contacts. Do not disassemble or mistreat the
battery. Failure to follow those instructions may present risk of
explosion, fire or high temperatures. There are no user-serviceable
parts in the battery pack.
• Handle a damaged battery with extreme care. If the electrolyte
comes in contact with your skin, wash the exposed area with soap
and water. If it comes in contact with the eye, flush the eye with
water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
• Lithium-Ion batteries are classified by the U. S. Federal
Government as non-hazardous waste and are safe for disposal in
the normal municipal waste stream. These batteries, however, do
contain recyclable materials and are accepted for recycling.

• Use only AC and vehicle adapters intended for the unit. Other
external power sources may damage your product and void the
warranty.
