Wi Before operating the transceiver @ Points to Note Before Transmitting
Many wireless stations use frequencies adjacent to the ham bands for
@ Attention business purposes. Be mindful when transmitting near them.
+ Do not remove the case or touch the interior components. Even when amateur stations obey radio laws, unexpected jamming can
occur.
Tampering can cause equipment trouble. : ; . : :
Pay sufficient attention during mobile operation.

@ Points to Note for Using an External Power Supply
* Use a 4.0 V-15.0 BC power supply as an external power supply.
* When connecting the power supply to the transceiver, use an
optional DC cable for base station (EDC-37). Connect the cable to
the DC jack on the side of the transceiver.
* When the power is supplied from a cigarette socket of a car, use the
cigarette lighter cable (EDC-43) or the cigarette lighter cable with
filter (EDC-36). Use the cigarette lighter cable with filter (EDC-36)
during mobil operation to prevent noise.
+ Turn the power off when connecting or disconnecting the DC cable.
