Antenna
Do not use portable walkie-talkies with damaged antennas. If the
damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, it will cause mild
burns.
Battery
If some conductive material on your body comes into contact with the
exposed battery terminals, it will cause damage to your property and
cause personal injury such as burns. These conductive materials
include jewelry, keys or bead necklaces, which can form a circuit with
the battery (cause a short circuit) and rapidly heat up and cause burns.
Be cautious when handling charged batteries, especially when you put
them in your pockets, purses, or other containers with metal objects.
Unpacking and checking device
Please take the walkie-talkie out of the box carefully. We recommend
that you confirm whether the packaging contains the items listed in the
table below before discarding packaging materials. If any items are lost
or damaged during delivery, please contact the dealer immediately.
