Avoid Choking Hazard
Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years.
WARNING. Not suitable for children under 18 months.
Long cord/Long chain. Strangulation hazard.

Protect your hearing:

  • Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.

  • Turn up the volume only if you are in noisy surroundings.

  • Turn down the volume before adding headset or earpiece.

  • Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at high volume.

  • When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place the radio’s speaker directly against your ear

  • Use careful with the earphone maybe possible excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss
    Note: Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods of time may temporarily or permanently affect your hearing. The louder the radio’s volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing damage from loud noise is sometimes undetectable at first and can have a cumulative effect.
    Batteries

  • When the conductive material such as jewelry, keys or chains touch exposed terminals of the batteries, may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit the battery) and  become hot to cause bodily injury such as burns. Exercise care in handling any battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse or other container with metal  objects.

  • BATTERY WARNING: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
    CHILDREN

  • Store spare batteries securely

  • If the battery compartment (if applicable) does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children
