SAFETY

Your transceiver is designed to give you maximum safety and reliability. As with all electrical devices, basic precautions should be followed in order to avoid damage to other objects or people – including yourself and your radio. Please see the following precautions.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

• This device is to be used solely as an aid to work performance. Its settings may be affected by different factors, such as defects or malfunction of the device, environmental conditions, or improper use.
• It is important to read – and follow – all of the warning labels and instructions placed on the device and its accessories.
• Do not open the transceiver for any reason, or attempt to repair it (with the exception of the routine maintenance described in the user manual). Unauthorized opening of the transceiver will nullify the warranty and may cause damage that requires drastic repair work. Please contact your local vendor for assistance.
• Do not let your radio get wet. If the transceiver happens to get wet, dry it as soon as possible with a soft, clean cloth. If you think liquid may have penetrated the housing, see your authorized service center as soon as possible.
• Only use original accessories; anything else may seriously damage your transceiver.
• Turn off your radio before cleaning it. Carefully polish the radio using a soft, clean cloth that does not have loose fibers. If the radio is very dirty, slightly dampen the cloth in a solution of 90% water and 10% neutral soap. Do not use liquid detergents, sprays, alcohol, solvents, or abrasives.
• Pay attention to environmental conditions. Your radio was designed to be used in extreme environmental conditions, though excessive heat or cold should be avoided (outside the values of the specifications indicated).

OPERATING CONDITIONS/USAGE

• We suggest using hands-free systems when driving, so as to reduce any distractions as much as possible.
• Do not operate the radio near shieldless explosives or in potentially explosive environments (e.g., in the vicinity of gas stations). A single spark may cause an explosion.
• Do not approach the transceiver’s antenna during transmission.
• The antenna must be installed at the center of the roof, in a vertical position, and free from obstacles.

INSTALLATION

• Installation and removal of the radio should be carried out only by experienced technicians.
• This transceiver generates and irradiates electromagnetic energy (EME) at radio frequency (RF), and as such must be installed and placed in operating conditions that conform with the instructions contained in the user manual and with current regulations. Failure to follow these instructions can cause personal injury and/ or serious malfunction of the device.
• It is very important to follow the requirements relative to the prevention of radio frequency exposure. Unauthorized changes or modifications to this device may invalidate conformity to regulations. All changes or modifications to the radio must be approved in writing by the manufacturer.
• Ensure that your power supply corresponds to the values cited in the user manual. In case of doubt, contact your local vendor.

ASSISTANCE
We urge you to write the serial number of your transceiver in the space provided on the first page. This number is found on the transceiver’s identifying label. This number will be useful in the event of repair/assistance and/or loss and/or theft of the device.
