■■ Important Notes DDWhen using the GPS receiver 1 ••GPS signals cannot pass through metal objects. When using the transceiver inside a vehicle, you may not receive GPS signals. We recommend you use it near a window. 2 ••The Global Positioning System (GPS) is built and operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. The Department is responsible for accuracy and maintenance of the system. 3 Any changes by the Department may affect the accuracy and function of the GPS system. ••The GPS receiver is installed under the transceiver's top panel. Therefore, when the GPS receiver is activated, do not cover the The GPS receiver is installed here. 4 top with anything that will block the satellite signals. 5 ••The GPS receiver may not work if used in the following locations: - Tunnels or high-rise buildings 6 - Underground parking lots - Under a bridge or viaduct 7 - In remote forested areas - Under bad weather conditions (rainy or cloudy day) 8 ••The GPS receiver may not work if the transceiver operates near 373.135 MHz or 467.090 MHz on the A band, or 468.000 MHz on the B band. This is due to signals 9 made in the internal circuit, and does not indicate a transceiver malfunction. DDElectromagnetic Interference 10 When you use a Bluetooth device, pay attention to the following: 11 Bluetooth devices operate in the 2.4 GHz band. The 2.4 GHz band is also used by other devices, such as Wireless LAN products, microwave ovens, RFID systems, amateur radio 12 stations, and so on. When using the Bluetooth device near such devices, interference may occur, causing a decrease in communication speed, and an unstable connection. In 13 such cases, use this device away from the other devices, or stop using those devices. LL See the Advanced manual for details. 14 DDSpurious signals 15 Using the Dualwatch function, or monitoring the broadcast FM radio band while using the Dualwatch function, may generate certain spurious signals, or noise may be heard, 16 depending on the combination of the operating band and mode. These do not indicate a transceiver malfunction. 17 DDAbout charging with the power ON 18 When the battery pack is attached, and the optional CP-12L or OPC-254L external DC power cable is connected to [DC IN], the battery pack can be charged even if the transceiver is ON. This operation may generate certain spurious signals, and the S-meter may appear, or noise may be heard. NOTE: ••The charging time with the power ON may differ, depending on the operating condition. ••The external DC power supply voltage must be between 10 ~ 16 V, and the current capacity must be more than 2.5 A to charge the battery pack with the power ON. ••When you operate the transceiver while charging, and if you cannot receive signals correctly, set "Charging (Power ON)"* to "OFF." * [MENU] > SET > Function > Charging (Power ON) (Default: ON) BASIC MANUAL iv
