2.3 Safety

Your ALAN HP106/HP406 handheld transceiver has been carefully desi-
gned to give you years of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical
equipments, however, there are a few basic precautions you should take
to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the radio:
Read the instructions in this handbook carefully. Be sure to save
it for future reference.
Read and follow all the warning labels and instruction on the
radio itself and on the accessories.
Don't carry the transceiver by the antenna. This may damage the
antenna or antenna terminal. Grasp it by its base (not the tip!)
when you need to place or remove it.
Don't keep the radio with the antenna very close to you, or tou-
ching exposed parts of the body, while transmitting. The radio
will perform best if the microphone is 5-10 cm away from the
mouth and the radio is vertical.
Be sure the PTT key is not accidentally depressed when you
don't need to transmit.
Do not operate the radio near unshielded electrical blasting caps
or in an explosive atmosphere.
Don't transmit without the antenna fitted on the radio or with a
damaged antenna. Though it is provided with a protection, it may
seriously damage the TX output final stage.
Respect the environment conditions. The radio is designed to be
used in heavy environments, however avoid exposing it to extre-
mely hot or cold temperature (out of the range between –30° to
+60°C). Don't expose the transceiver to excessive vibrations as
well as dusty or rainy places.
Never try to disassemble or service the radio by yourself (aside
from the routine maintenance described in this handbook). It will
immediately void the warranty and you may cause damage
requiring extensive repair work. Always contact your local dealer
for assistance.
Grasp your radios firmly. Otherwise it may fall and be damaged.
Use only genuine accessories. Non original ones could seriously
damage your handheld transceiver.
Do not use your radio near water or spill liquid of any kind into it.
If the transceiver gets wet immediately, dry it by a soft and clean
cloth.
Switch the radio off before you clean it. Strictly follow the direc-
tions stated in Chapter 8.
Handle the battery properly. Strictly follow the directions stated
in Chapter 8.
Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed for
the supplied battery charger. If you are not sure, check with your
dealer or with your local power company.
To avoid damaging the power cable of the battery charger, do
not put anything on it or place it where it will be walked on.
