WARNING! NEVER continuously transmit the transceiver for long periods of time. When the transceiver is used for continuous
prolonged transmission at high power, the transceiver radiates heat to protect itself from overheating and transceiver’s chassis
will become hot. This may cause a burn.
AVOID operating the transceiver in a situation that will obstruct heat dissipation, especially if the transceiver is operated with an
external power supply. Heat dissipation may be affected, and it may cause a burn, warp the casing or damage the transceiver.
