4.4 Danger of explosion
• Do not replace batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may
occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.
• Turn your PMR off when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in
such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
• Never throw batteries in fire as they may explode.
4.5 Poisoning danger
• Keep batteries away from small children.
4.6 Legal
• In some countries it is prohibited to use your PMR while driving a vehicle. In this case
leave the road before using the device.
• Turn your PMR OFF when on board an aircraft when instructed to do so. Any use of the
PMR must be in accordance with airline regulations or crew instructions.
• Turn your PMR OFF in any facilities where posted notices instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF
energy.
• Replacing or modifying the antenna may affect the PMR radio specifications and violate
the CE regulations. Unauthorised antennas could also damage the radio.

• Remove the batteries if the device is not going to be used for a long period.
5 Cleaning and maintenance
• To clean the unit, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water. Don’t use a cleaner or
solvents on the unit; they can damage the case and leak inside, causing permanent
damage.
• Battery contacts may be wiped with a dry lint-free cloth.
• If the unit gets wet, turn it off and remove the batteries immediately. Dry the battery
compartment with a soft cloth to minimize potential water damage. Leave the cover off
the battery compartment overnight or until completely dry. Do not use the unit until
completely dry.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include fuelling areas such as below deck on
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders;
and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off
your vehicle engine.
