(listen), release the PTT button. Transmitting necessary information or less, is important because the radio generates measurable RF
energy exposure only when transmitting in terms of measuring for standards compliance.
•DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed RF
exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the
manufacturer for use with this radio, and the antenna gain shall not exceed the specified gain by the manufacturer declared.
to be exceeded.
•During transmissions, your radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such
interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so.
•DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
•Portable Device, this transmitter may operate with the antenna(s) documented in this filing in Push-to-Talk and body-worn configurations.
RF exposure compliance is limited to the specific belt-clip and accessory configurations as documented in this filing and the separation
distance between head and the device or its antenna shall be at least 2.5 cm.
•Mobile Device, during operation, the separation distance between user and the antenna subjects to actual regulations, this separation
distance will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure
requirements. Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum lateral distance away from a properly
installed according to installation instructions, externally mounted antenna.
FCC RX exposure compliance
Hand-held Mode(if applicable)
• Hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone (and other partsof the radio including the antenna) at least 2.5 cm
(one inch) away from the nose or lips. The antenna should be kept away from the eyes. Keeping the radio at a proper
distance is important as RF exposure decreases with increasing distance from the antenna.
Phone Mode(if applicable)
•When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your radio product as you would a wireless telephone. Speak directly into the microphone. Do
not use the equipment when you are driving
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise
configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
Avoid Choking Hazard
Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years.

•Turn off your radio before removing (installing) a battery or accessory or when charging battery.
•Turn off your radio when you are in a potentially hazardous environments: Near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area,
in explosive atmospheres (inflammable gas, dust particles, metallic powders, grain powders, etc.).
•Turn off your radio while taking on fuel or while parked at gasoline service stations.
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts
•Turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so, hospitals or health care facilities (Pacemak-
ers, Hearing Aids and Other Medical Devices) may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
•Turn off your radio when on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable regulations per
airline crew instructions.
• Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.
• Turn up the volume only if you are in noisy surroundings.
• Turn down the volume before adding headset or earpiece.
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at high volume.
• When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place the radio's speaker directly against your ear
• Use careful with the earphone maybe possible excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause
hearing loss
Note: Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods of time may temporarily or permanently affect
your hearing. The louder the radio's volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected.
Hearing damage from loud noise is sometimes undetectable at first and can have a cumulative effect.
Antennas
•Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin when
the radio is in use, a minor burn can result.
Batteries (If appropriate)
•When the conductive material such as jewelry, keys or chains touch exposed terminals of the batteries, may complete an
electrical circuit (short circuit the battery) and become hot to cause bodily injury such as burns. Exercise care in handling
any battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse or other container with metal objects
•BATTERY WARNING: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
•Store spare batteries securely
•If the battery compartment (if applicable) does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children

Vielen Dank für den Kauf dieses Seefunkgeräts. Sie finden das
professionelle und menschenorientierte Design des Transceivers
während des Einsatzes. Bitte lesen Sie alle Anweisungen sorgfältig
und vollständig durch, bevor Sie den Transceiver verwenden.
AN DEN BENUTZER:
<589/).:
Verwenden Sie niemals den Notruf, wenn sich Ihr Schiff oder
ein Stift nicht in einem Notfall befindet.
Verwenden oder platzieren Sie den Transceiver nicht in
Bereichen mit Hitze, Feuchtigkeit und Staub.
Die Betriebsspannung für den Transceiver beträgt 13,8 V.
Wenn die Stromquelle 24V ist, verwenden Sie bitte einen
Stromrichter (24V konvertieren in 13,8V), oder der Transceiver
funktioniert nicht.
Niemals direkt mit AC220V verbinden, dies wird den Transce-
iver ruinieren. Wenn ein abnormaler Geruch oder Rauch vom
Transceiver erkannt wird, schalten Sie die Stromversorgung
sofort aus.
Senden Sie nicht, bevor Sie die Antenne anschließen, dies
wird den Transceiver ruinieren.
Nach längerem Gebrauch wird das Heizpanel heiß, das ist
normaler Zustand.
