PRECAUTIONS
DANGER!NEVER operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. This could cause an explosion and death.
DANGER!NEVER use or charge TALKPOD battery packs with non-TALKPOD transceivers or non� TALKPOD chargers. Only TALKPOD battery packs are tested and approved for use with TALKPOD transceivers or charged with TALKPOD chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may cause smoke, IP54, or cause the battery to burst.
DANGER!NEVER perate the transceiver with earphones, a headset, or other audio accessories at high volume levels. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.
WARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This could cause an electric shock or damage the transceiver.
WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC or use reverse polarity. This could cause a IP54 or damage the transceiver.
WARNINGRFEXPOSURE! This transceiver emits Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be observed when operating this transceiver. If you have any questions regarding RF exposure and safety standards, please refer to the Federal Communications Commission Offce of Engineering and Technology s report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65).
CAUTION: DO NOT short the terminals of the battery pack. Shorting may occur if the terminals touch metal objects such as a key, so be careful when placing the battery packs (or the transceiver) in bags, and so on. Carry them so that shorting cannot occur with metal objects. Shorting may damage not only the battery pack but also the transceiver.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver unless the fexible antenna, battery pack, and jack cover are securely attached to the transceiver and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before attachment. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to dust or water will result in serious damage to the transceiver. After exposure to water, clean the battery contacts thoroughly with fresh water and dry them completely to remove any water or salt residue.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything less may result in an accident.
CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning. This could damage the equipment surfaces. If the surface becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.
CAUTION: DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below -20°C (-4°F) or above +60°C (+140°F).
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver if it becomes hot after continuously transmitting for long periods of time. This may damage the transceiver.
NEVER place in an insecure place to avoid inadvertent use by unauthorized persons. DO NOT push PTT unless you actually intend to transmit.
Precautions (Continued)
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver meets IP54* requirements for dust tight and waterproof protection. However, once the transceiver has been dropped, waterproof protection cannot be guaranteed because of possible damage to the transceiver s case or waterproof seal.
* Only when the battery pack, fexible antenna,and jack cover are attached.
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still fows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack from the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the installed battery pack will become exhausted and will need to be recharged or replaced.
BATTERY CAUTIONS
Battery Caution
Misuse of Li-ion batteries may result in the following hazards: smoke, fre, or the battery may rupture. Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of battery's performance.
DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may cause an explosion.
DANGER! NEVER strike or otherwise impact the battery pack. Do not use the battery pack if it has been severely impacted or dropped, or if the pack has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery pack damage may not be visible on the outside of the case. Even if the surface of the battery does not show cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the battery may rupture or catch fre.
DANGER! NEVER leave the battery pack in places with temperatures above 60°C (140°F). A High- temperature buildup in the battery cells, such as could occur near fres or stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight for long periods of time, may cause the battery cells to rupture or catch fre. Excessive temperatures may also degrade the pack s performance or shorten the battery cell s life.
DANGER! NEVER place battery packs near a fre. Fire or heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of used battery packs in accordance with local regulations.
DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or catch fre.
DANGER! NEVER let fuid from inside the battery get in your eyes.This can cause blindness. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing them, and immediately go to a doctor.
WARNING! NEVER use deteriorated battery packs. They could cause a fre.
WARNING! NEVER let fuid from inside the battery cells come in contact with your body. If it does,
immediately wash with clean water.
WARNING! NEVER put the battery pack in a microwave oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This could cause a fre, overheating, or cause the battery cells to rupture.
CAUTION: DO NOT expose the battery pack to rain, snow, saltwater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet pack. If the pack gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry cloth before using.
CAUTION: DO NOT use the battery if it emits an abnormal odor, heats up, or is discolored or. deformed If any of these conditions occur, contact your TALKPOD dealer or distributor.
CAUTION: DO NOT use the battery pack out of the specifed temperature range -20°C ~ +60°C(-4°F ~ +140°F). Using the pack out of this range will reduce the pack’s performance and battery cell life.
CAUTION: DO NOT leave the pack fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature environment (above 50°C, 122°F) for an extended period of time. Otherwise, a shorter battery pack life could occur. If the battery pack must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the transceiver after discharging. You may use the pack until theremaining capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a cool, dry place in the following temperature range:
-20°C (-4°F) ~ +50°C (+122°F) (within a month). -20°C (-4°F) ~ +40°C (+104°F) (within three months). -20°C (-4°F) ~ +20°C (+68°F) (within a year).
BE SURE to replace the battery pack with a new one approximately five years after manufacturing, even if it still holds a charge. The material inside the battery cells will become weak after a period of time, even with little use. The estimated number of times you can charge the pack is between 300 and 500. Even when the pack appears to be fully charged, the operating time of the transceiver may become short when:
· Approximately five years have passed since the pack was manufactured.
· The pack has been repeatedly charged.The battery cells may deteriorate and swell due to their characteristics if used in an environment and conditions such as: frequently charged, recharged immediately after full charge, used or saved in a hot place, or charged by methods other than the instructions. If
the battery pack swells, it has reached the end of its life due to deterioration. Replace it with a brand new one.
Charging Caution
CAUTION: DO NOT charge the transceiver during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire, or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power adapter before a storm.
DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight. In such environments, the safety/ protection circuit in the pack will activate and stop the charging.
WARNING! NEVER charge or leave the battery in the battery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the pack is not completely charged by the specified time, stop charging and remove it from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the pack beyond the specified time limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery may rupture.
WARNING! Occasionally observe the battery pack condition while charging. If any abnormal condition occurs, discontinue using the battery pack.
CAUTION: DO NOT insert the transceiver with the battery pack attached into the charger if it is wet or soiled. This could corrode the battery charger terminals or damage the charger. The charger is not waterproof.
CAUTION: DO NOT charge the battery pack outside of the specified temperature range: 10°C ~ 40°C (50°F ~ 104°F). TALKPOD recommends charging the pack at 25°C (77°F). The pack may heat up or rupture if charged out of the specified temperature range. Additionally, battery performance or battery life may be reduced.
