Operating Precautions
Aerials
Do not use 2 way radios with damaged aerials.
The skin may be mildly burnt if exposed to a damaged aerial.
Batteries
Batteries can cause damage and injury if a conducting object (for example, jewellery, keys or a metal bracelet) touches the
exposed areas. The conducting object may create a short-circuit in this situation and become extremely hot. Empty or char-
ged batteries must be handled with care, especially when placed in pockets, bags or into any other container for metal
objects.
NEVER TRY TO recharge the batteries themselves as they may explode and cause personal injury or damage the 2 way
radio.
