WARNING If battery terminals are short circuited e.g. by coming in contact with jewellery, keys,
metalized paper or other metals, the battery can overheat and cause injury or fire,
for example by storing or transporting in pockets.
Precautions:
Make sure that the battery terminals do not come into contact with metallic objects.

WARNING Incorrect fastening of the external antenna to vehicles or transporters poses the risk
of the equipment being broken by mechanical influence, vibration or airstream. This
may result in accident and physical injury.
Precautions:
Attach the external antenna professionally. The external antenna must be secured
additionally, for example by use of a safety cord. Ensure that the mounting device is
correctly mounted and able to carry the weight of the external antenna (>1 kg)
safely.
