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.

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.
