If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Safety and General Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the area where you drive. Always obey them. When using your
radio while driving, please:
 Give full attention to driving and to the road.
 Use hands-free operation, if available.
 Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
Operational Warnings
For Vehicles with an Air Bag
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great
force. If a portable 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.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially
qualified for use in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe.”
Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fueling areas such as below decks on
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle
engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.
Blasting Caps and Areas
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.
Operational Cautions
Antennas
Do 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.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys,
or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and
become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or
other container with metal objects.
Battery Charger Safety Instructions
Save these Instructions
1. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
2. Do not operate or disassemble the charger if it has received a sharp blow, or has been dropped or damaged in any
way.
3. Never alter the AC cord or plug provided with the unit. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. An improper condition can result in a risk of electric shock.
4. To reduce the risk of damage to the cord or plug, pull the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger
from the AC receptacle.
5. To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning.
6. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Service Center may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or
personal injury.
7. Please turn off the radio before charging.
