[. . . ] WARNING ­ To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this device to rain or moisture. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. [. . . ] In the interest of product improvement, the specifications and/or appearance of this unit are subject to change without prior notice. Do not use batteries with the positive (+) and negative (­) terminals reversed, as this may drain the batteries or cause abnormal chemical reactions. Strong impact can cause leakage of battery fluid, heat generation, bursting or fire. Never try to connect several batteries in parallel as this may cause leakage of battery fluid, heat generation, bursting or fire. If any fluid from a battery comes in contact with the eyes, flush the eyes immediately, washing them thoroughly with clean water from a tap or other source and consult a doctor. Strong alkaline fluid can damage the eyes and lead to permanent loss of eyesight. If skin or clothing comes in contact with any fluid from the battery, wash the area immediately with clean water from a tap. When a battery is no longer usable, dispose of it in accordance with all applicable local laws and regulations. If a battery leaks fluid, changes color or shape or changes in any other way, do not use it, otherwise it may cause heat generation, bursting or fire. Before use, you must read and strictly observe all of the precautions that accompany the batteries, rechargeable batteries, or battery charger. When using rechargeable batteries and a charger, use only the combination of rechargeable batteries and charger specified by the battery manufacturer. The temperature range for use of the batteries depends on the battery type being used. Do not use or store batteries at high temperature, such as in strong direct sunlight, in cars during hot weather or directly in front of heaters. Do not splash fresh or saltwater on a battery or allow the terminals to become damp. This may cause heat generation and formation of rust on the battery and its terminals. If newly purchased batteries exhibit rust, generate heat or seem abnormal in any other way, do not use them. Be sure to carefully instruct any person on the proper way of handling a battery. Doing so may melt the insulation, damage the gas release vents or protective devices, cause combustion through chemical reaction with generated hydrogen, ejection of battery fluid, bursting or fire. Never unscrew the strap holder rings to avoid damaging the FR-1's plastic housing, which eventually compromises overall stability and safety.
