Operational Cautions
Antenna
Do not use any portable radio that has 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.
