Safety
Your 70-440BP handheld transceiver has been carefully designed to give you years of safe, reliable
performance. As with all electrical equipment, however, there are a few basic precautions you should take
to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the radio:
• Read the instructions in this handbook carefully. Be sure to save it for future reference.
• Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the radio itself.
• Do not carry the transceiver by the antenna. This may damage the antenna or antenna terminal.
Grasp it by its base (not the tip!) when you need to place or remove it.
• Do not keep the radio with the antenna very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, while
transmitting. The radio will perform best if the microphone is 5-10 cm away from the mouth and the
radio is vertical.
• Be sure the “PTT” key is not pressed when you do not need to transmit.
• Do not operate the radio near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
• Do not transmit without the antenna fitted on the radio. Though it is provided with a protection, it
may damage the TX output final stage.
