Safety Information

Safety warnings

• Please read the following warnings to prevent fires, personal injury, damage to the radio or to the antenna.
• Do not try to adjust the radio while driving, it is dangerous.
• The supply voltage of this radio must be 12V or 24V DC.
• Do not place the radio on an excessively dusty, wet or unstable surface.
• Do not connect the antenna during transmission, risk of skin burns or electric shock.
• Please keep your distance from devices that create interference (such as: TV, generator, etc.)
• Those who use pacemakers are advised to keep their distance from the antenna during transmission and especially not to touch it.
• Do not bring metal objects close to the internal electrical part of the radio, risk of electric shock.
• Avoid exposing the radio to temperatures lower than -26°C and higher than +80°C. During the summer, the temperature inside a vehicle can exceed 80°C, which can cause irreparable damage to the radio in case of prolonged exposure.
• Do not cover the radio with other objects, as this will prevent it from cooling down.
• It is important to turn off the radio before starting the engine, to avoid damage caused by high voltage.
• When replacing the fuse, use a 3A 250V type F fuse.
• If an abnormal smell or smoke comes from the radio, turn it off immediately.
• Do not transmit for a long time, the radio may heat up and malfunction.
• Keep the radio away from children.
