Handling precaution

WARNING

Do not use this JHS-207 in hazardous areas subject to the presence of explosive

gases.

Do not open forcibly for the equipment to repair it. Inspection or repairs by

anyone other than a specialized technician may result in fire, electrical shock, or

malfunction.

If repair is necessary, contact our service center or agents.

Do not disassemble or customize this unit. Doing so may cause malfunction.

Do not use a voltage other than specified.

Doing so may cause fire, electrical shock, or malfunction.

Do not short circuit, puncture, incinerate, crush, immerse, force discharge or

expose to temperatures above the declared operating temperature range of the

product, otherwise you risk fire or explosion.

A battery that is disassembled or exposed to water, fire or high temperatures

can explode or leak causing burns.



Doing any of the following could result in sever burn hazard or fire explosion:

͌ Heating a lithium battery over 70 degrees celsius

͌ Attempting to recharge the battery.

͌ Crushing, disassembling or attempting to ignite or set flame to the battery.

If any problem is observed in this unit on usual operation or inspection, contact

JRC or our agent. In addition to usual communication, this unit is also used for

the distress communication.

vi

CAUTION

Do not use this equipment for anything other than specified.

Doing so may cause failure or malfunction.

Do not touch contents of an open battery. It can cause skin irritation and

respiratory irritation.

Changing the battery must be done in a dry environment or under

shelter as the radio is only waterproof when the battery, antenna and

jack cover are correctly assembled.

The JHS-207 unit is not waterproof when the standard antenna is not

attached or if the antenna is not assembled correctly.



When using an accessory, the radio will no longer be waterproof.

The antenna and jack cover must be correctly assembled on the radio in

order for it to be completely waterproof.

Accessories should not be used when using the JHS-207 in the emergency

mode.

Place the radio in a location away from direct sea spray, chemicals, oil

and vibration.

Accessories should not be used when using the JHS-207 in the emergency

mode.



The JHS-207 is a sealed waterproof radio, and does not contain any user

serviceable parts inside.

This radio must never be opened by anyone other than an authorized JRC

agent. Unauthorized disassembly will void your warranty.

vii

CAUTION

Do not use Channel 16 for the regular testing.

Improper maintenance may destroy the functionality and/or

performance of this product.
