volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected.
Hearing damage from loud noise is sometimes undetectable at first and can
have
a cumulative
effect.

Burns
Antennas
• Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna
comes
into contact
burn
can
result.
Batteries (If appropriate)
• When the conductive material such as jewelry, keys or chains 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.
WARNING
Exercise care in handling any battery, particularly when placing it inside a
pocket, purse or other container with metal objects.
Long transmission
• When the transceiver is used for long transmissions, the radiator and
chassis
will become
hot.
