Please read carefully through the following information
concerning safety and proper use. Make yourself familiar with all
functions of the device. Keep this manual on a safe place for future
use.
3.2 Burning Injuries
•If the cover of the antenna is damaged, do not touch because
when an antenna comes in contact with the skin, a minor burn
may result when transmitting.
•Batteries can cause property damage such as burns if
conductive material such as jewellery, keys or beaded chains
touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an
electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise
care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it

English

inside a pocket, purse or other container with metal objects. Do
not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or
removing batteries and cause an explosion.
3.3 Personal Safety
•Use in cars: do not place your device in the area over an air bag
or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great
force. If a communicator is placed in the bag deployment area
and the air bag inflates, the communicator may be propelled with
great force and cause serious injury to the occupants of the
vehicle.
•Keep the radio at least 15 centimetres away from a pacemaker.
•Turn your radio OFF as soon as interference is taking place with
medical equipment.
•Do not replace batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing
batteries and cause an explosion.
•Turn your communicator off when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
•Never throw batteries in fire as they may explode.
3.4 Poisoning Danger
•Keep the batteries away from small children.
3.5 Legal
•In some countries it is prohibited to use your PMR while driving a
vehicle. In this case leave the road before using the device.

ligeiras queimaduras durante uma transmissão rádio.

Português
14
•As pilhas podem ocasionar danos materiais tais como
queimaduras quando materiais condutivos como jóias, chaves
ou fios de pérolas tocam nos terminais visíveis. Estes materiais
podem fechar o circuito eléctrico (curto-circuito) e ficar
extremamente quente Tome os devidos cuidados ao manusear
qualquer bateria carregada, especialmente ao colocá-la no
interior de bolsos, carteira ou outros recipientes com objectos
metálicos.
3.3 Segurança Pessoal
•Uso em automóveis: não coloque este dispositivo sobre zonas
onde se encontram as almofadas de ar (airbags) ou zonas
previstas para desdobramento das mesmas. As almofadas de ar
são insufladas com um forte impacto. Se o comunicador for
posicionado na área de desdobramento e a almofada é
insuflada, poderá ser projectado com extrema força e ocasionar
lesões aos ocupantes do veículo.
•Mantenha o PMR afastado pelo menos 15 centímetros de
estimuladores cardíacos.
•DESLIGUE o PMR se verificar que existe interferências com
equipamentos médicos.
•Não substitua pilhas em ambientes onde possam ocorrer
explosões. A formação de faíscas por contacto pode ocorrer
quando colocar ou remover as pilhas provocando a explosão.
•Desligue o seu comunicador quando se encontrar em ambientes
propícios a explosões. Faíscas ocasionadas nestes ambientes
poderão provocar explosões ou fogo ocasionando lesões
corporais ou inclusive morte.
•Nunca deite as pilhas no fogo pois podem explodir.
3.4 Perigo de Envenenamento
•Mantenha as pilhas fora do alcance das crianças
3.5 Legislação
•Em alguns países está proibido o uso do PMR quando está a
conduzir um veículo. Para situações de emergência, saia fora da
estrada para poder usar o aparelho.

para o fazer. Qualquer uso destes aparelhos deverá ser feito em
conformidade com as normas comuns de aviação ou instruções
da tripulação de voo.
•DESLIGUE o aparelho em locais onde existem afixados avisos
para tal. Os hospitais ou centros de saúde poderão estar a usar
equipamentos que são sensíveis a energias externas de RF.
•A substituição ou modificação da antena pode afectar as
especificações de rádio PMR. O uso de antenas não
autorizadas poderá igualmente danificar o aparelho.
3.6 Notas:
•Não toque na antena durante transmissões, isto poderá afectar
o alcance da mesma.
•Retire as pilhas se o dispositivo não for utilizado durante um
longo período de tempo.
