WARNING:
• The GMR-GPS should be used as an aid in navigation. The unit is not intended to replace
basic navigational procedures and common sense.
• Because of errors inherent in the nature of the GPS system, the unit will not guide you to an
exact position or the precise indicated coordinates. However, under most circumstances, it
should be accurate to within about 100 feet.
• When using this device in a vehicle, use it only when the vehicle is stopped and it is safe to do
so. Operating the unit while driving is dangerous and could result in an accident or collision. It
is more important to keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.
•
Do not operate the transceiver unless you are licensed to do so.
•
Remove the batteries from the unit if it is not expected to be used for long periods.This will
eliminate the possibility of chemicals leaking from the batteries and corroding the unit.
•
Avoid exposing the unit to water or extremes of temperature.
•
Do not use this device in or near a mining facility, which uses remotely triggered explosives
or in areas labeled “Blasting Area”. Premature or accidental detonation may result.
•
Do not attempt to modify or in any way increase the output of this transceiver. Its output is
designed to meet the legal limits set by the FCC.
•
Do not use this device or change its batteries in potentially explosive atmospheres as sparks
in such areas could result in an explosion.
•
Turn your transceiver off wherever posted notices restrict the use of radios or cellular
telephones. Facilities such as hospitals may use equipment that is sensitive to RF energy.
•
Turn your transceiver off on board aircraft when requested to do so.
•
Do not place your radio in front of a vehicle’s air-bag. If the air-bag deploys, it could propel
the unit like a projectile causing bodily injury.
CAUTION:
• Never attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries, as batteries may burst causing personal
injury and damage to the unit. When recharging batteries, use only Audiovox-approved re-
chargeable batteries and charger. Use of the Audiovox charger with other brands of batteries is
not recommended. As battery charging times will vary with different brands, refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for charging other brands of batteries.
• Keep the antenna at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from your head and body when transmitting.
Do not use your GMR-GPS transceiver with a damaged antenna.
• Replace the rubber cover over the headset receptacle when not in use.
