PRECAUTIONS
RCAUTION! NEVERhold the transceiver so that the
antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the
body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The

in areas with temperatures below +22°F (–30°C) or above
+140°F (+60°C).
The basic operations, transmission and reception of the trans-
ceiver are guaranteed within the specified operating temper-
ature range. However, the LCD display may not be operated
correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours of
operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas.
