Note: Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended

If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin when
the radio is in use, a minor burn can result.

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
