Conformance Statement

This product is in conformance with the TETRA (TErrestrial Trunked Radio) standard.

Use of Communication Devices While Driving

Always obey the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the area where you drive.
Give full attention to driving and to the road.
Use hands-free operation, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions or regulations so
require.

Operational Warnings

WARNING:
For vehicles with an air bag, refer to the manual of the vehicle manufacturer before
installation of electronic equipment to avoid interference with air bag wiring.
Do not mount or place a radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
Air bags inflate with great force. If a radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and
the air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to
occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres (explosive atmospheres refers to hazard classified
locations that may contain hazardous gas, vapors, or dusts)
Turn off your radio before entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless
it is a radio type especially qualified for use in such areas as "Intrinsically Safe" (such as
Factory Mutual, CSA, UL, CENELEC, or ATEX/IECEx approved). Do not remove, install, or
charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas such as below
decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Areas with potentially
explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.
Blasting Caps And Blasting Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when you are
near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: "Turn Off Two-way
Radio". Obey all signs and instructions.

Operational Cautions

CAUTION: Do not power on the SIM version radio until you have confirmed a dummy SIM card
has been inserted in the SIM card connector.
Antennas
Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact
with your skin, a minor burn can result.
Batteries
If a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed battery terminals, it
can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns. The conductive material may complete
an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery,
particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.
