1 PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
•
Please read the owner's manual carefully before use. Please keep the owner's
manual for the entire life of the product.
•
To reduce radio frequency exposure when using the device, keep it at least 5 cm
away from your face.
•
Do not allow babies or young children to get near the devices.
•
Never use a walkie-talkie with a damaged antenna. If the antenna is in contact with
the skin, mild burns may result.
•
When using the device in a vehicle, do not leave it in the area above an airbag or
in the airbag deployment area because it can be propelled with great force and
cause serious injury to the vehicle occupants if the airbag is deployed.
•
The devices are designed to be used in temperatures ranging from -10°C to +50°C
inclusive.
•
If the devices are used in low temperatures, you must use batteries capable of
standing up well to low temperatures. Preferably use lithium or NiMH rechargeable
batteries as alkaline and zinc batteries perform very badly in low temperatures.
•
Do not use the devices or change the batteries in an explosive atmosphere. The
antenna or batteries can produce micro-sparks or static electricity which can set
off explosions causing serious injury and even death.
•
Never use the device outside during a storm.
•
Do not use the device in the rain.
•
If the device gets wet, switch it off and remove the battery. Dry the battery
compartment and leave the cover open for a few hours. Do not use the device
until it is completely dry.
•
Do not dismantle the product. This will void the warranty and could cause damage
or loss of watertightness.
•
Clean the product with a soft, moist cloth or a compressed air canister. Never use
detergents as they could cause damage to the materials. Do not rub the screen
with anything that might scratch it.
