not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air
bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable
radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag
inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force and cause
serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn o your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Only radio types that are especially
qualified should be used in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe”. Do
not remove, install or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a
potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmosphere referred
to above include fueling areas such as below decks on
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as
grain, dust or metal powders) and any other area where
you would normally be advised to turn o your vehicle
engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are
often – but not always posted.
Persons with pacemakers, implantable cardioverter
defibrillators (ICDs) or other active implantable
medical devices (AIMD) should:
• Consult with their physicians regarding the potential risk of
interference from radio frequency transmitters, such as portable
radios (poorly shielded medical devices may be more susceptible
to interference).
• Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect
that interference is taking place.
• Do not carry the radio in a chest pocket or near the implantation
site, and carry or use the radio on the opposite side of their body
from the implantable device to minimize the potential for
interference.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids
In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist
you in obtaining this information.

L’indicateur de pile vous informe du niveau de charge des piles.
Lorsque les piles sont faibles, la dernière barre de l’icône va
clignoter et un avertissement sonore se fera entendre 2 fois avant
que la radio ne s’éteigne. Vos piles devront être rechargées.
Lisez ce mode d’emploi attentivement avant d’utiliser la radio.
La radio a 22 canaux. Si vous souhaitez communiquer avec d’autres
personnes du même groupe, toutes les radios doivent être réglées
sur le même canal et code d’élimination des interférences (CTSCC).
Si vous avez tout de même des interférences et devez changer de
canal, assurez-vous de changer le canal et le code de toutes les
radios dans votre groupe.
