2. Above all… safety!
2.1 Symbols used
Foreaseandconvenienceofuse,thismanualusessymbolstohighlighturgentsituations,practical
advice,andgeneralinformation.
! Exclamation marks such as this one indicate a crucial description regarding technical
repairs, dangerous conditions, safety warnings, advice, and/or other important infor-
mation. Ignoring these symbols may result in serious problems and/or damage and/or
personal injury.
Notes such as this one indicate practical advice that we suggest be followed for the optimal
performance of the equipment
2.2 Warnings
! DO NOT TRANSMIT WITH THE DAMAGED ANTENNA OR WITHOUT THE ANTENNA
CONNECTED - although the radio is protected, this may seriously damage its R.F. power
stages. Do not use your transceiver if the antenna is damaged.
! Do not keep the antenna too close to your head and body during transmission.
! Do not hold the transceiver by the antenna! This is a delicate part of the device and is
vital for the proper functioning of the radio.
! Pay attention to environmental conditions - although the radio was designed to operate
under the most severe conditions it is important to avoid exposure to environments that
are excessively humid or dusty, or to temperatures outside the -15° to +55°C° range. Also
avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
! Avoid strong mechanical shocks and excessive vibrations, the radio is designed to bear
mechanical shocks and vibrations, provided that they’re the normal ones borne by any
electrical equipment.
! Do not use the radio, its accessories, and/or substitute the batteries in potentially
explosive environments. A single spark may cause an explosion.
! BATTERIES - Strictly follow all the directions and warnings on the batteries stated at
chapters 4.3 and 4.4
! Do not open the radio for any reason! The radio’s precision mechanics and electronics
require experience and specialized equipment; for the same reason, the radio should
under no circumstances be realigned as it has already been calibrated for maximum
performance. Unauthorized opening of the transceiver will void the warranty.
! Do not use detergents, alcohol, solvents, or abrasives to clean the equipment. Just use
a soft, clean cloth. If the radio is very dirty, slightly dampen the cloth with a mixture of
water and a neutral soap.
! Your VHF marine handheld transceiver has a built-in VHF radio transmitter. Be aware
that, when you press the PTT button, the radio emits radio frequency (R.F.) energy.
! Before using the radio, ensure that all protective covers and parts are in perfect operating
condition, in order to ensure maximum protection against humidity and atmospheric
agents.

4.2.b Removal
1) Followsteps1and2ofpar4.2.a;
2) Removethebatterypackfromthedevice;
3) Follow steps 4 and 5 of par 4.2.a.
4.3 Recharging batteries
Batteriescan be recharged without takingthem outof thetransceiver (butthe devicemust be
turnedoff);batteriestake8-10hourstofullyrecharge(batterypack800mAh).
To recharge batteries by means of the 2-way car lighter charger:
1. CarefullylifttherubberprotectionofthesocketMIC/CHG.
2. InsertthejackofthebatterychargerintothesocketMIC/CHGoftheradio,thenconnectthe
batterychargertothecarlightercharger.Chargingwillbegin
3. Whenchargingiscompletepulloutthecharger’sjackfromtheradioanddetachitfromthe
mains.Replacetherubberprotectionmentionedinstep1.
! Do not overcharge the batteries! When these are fully charged the charging process
does not stop automatically. Do not forget therefore, to remove the charger from the
transceiver as soon as the batteries are charged.
! Do not try to charge alkaline batteries or non rechargeable batteries. Make sure that
when you connect the charger only rechargeable batteries NI-MH should be contained
in the batteries compartment! It is very dangerous attempting to recharge other types of
batteries (for example alkaline batteries). Batteries which are not suitable to be recharged
may leak, explode or even burn and cause damage!
! Usingadifferentbatterychargerotherthantheonespeciedcancausedamagetoyour
device or may even cause explosions and personal injuries.
! Donotthrowbatteriesintoreorplacethemnearheatasthismaycauseexplosions
or personal injuries. Dispose of the batteries according to procedures set out by local
regulations.
! Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types or batteries which have
been used in different manners. Every battery set which is being used must always be
composed of the same elements.
Recharge of the battery pack by means of the desktop charger and wall adaptor:
Connectthesocketofthewalladaptortoamainspowersocketandinsertthejackofthewall
adaptorintothedesktopchargerplug.

Whenchargingiscompletetakethetransceiveroutofthecradleanddetachthesocketofthewall
adaptorfromthemains.
4.4 Memory effect of rechargeable batteries
Rechargeable NiMH (Nickel-Metal-Hydrate) batteries are affected by what is known as the
“memory effect”.This phenomenon is associated with a drastic reduction of battery autonomy
andistriggeredifthebatteriesareregularlychargedbeforebeingfullydischargedand/orarenot
completelyrecharged.Toavoidthememoryeffect:
• When possible, recharge the batteries only when they are completely discharged (until the
deviceturnsitselfoffduringnormaluse)
• Donotdisconnectthebatterychargerbeforethetimeindicatedforafullbatterycharge.
• Dischargeandrechargeyourbatteriescompletelyatleasttwiceamonth.Inanycase,thebest

9
ENGLISH
solutionforavoidingthememoryeffectistouseinturntwobatterysets:oneinuse,andthe
otherasaspareset.
Thememoryeffectcanbeeasilyeliminatedbycompletelydischarging/chargingthebatteries3or
4 times.
Thememory effectshouldnot beconfused withthenormal batterylife, whichis 400cycles of
charge/discharge on average. It is completely normal for operating duty to decrease when the
batterieshavereachedtheendoftheirlife;atthispoint,youwillneedtosubstitutethebatteryset.
