Safety Instructions for Radios
Safety Guidelines
Proper Use
Radios are intended for communication in difficult conditions, such as on water, during sailing, or on ships. They should be used solely for communication purposes, emergency situations, and daily contact with other units.
Ensure that the radio is always adequately charged or powered to ensure full functionality in emergency situations.
Never use the radio in a way that could interfere with other electronic devices or communication systems. Follow the applicable regulations regarding radio frequencies.
Safe Usage
Always keep the radio in a dry, safe place to prevent damage from water, dust, or shocks.
Use the device according to the user manual and ensure that you understand its functions, including how to transmit and receive messages.
If needed, use the SOS function or any other alarm feature if available on your radio model.
Regular Inspection Before Use
Technical Inspection
Before each use, check that the radio is functioning properly. Pay attention to:
Battery or power status – make sure the batteries are adequately charged or replaced to ensure proper device operation.
Antenna – ensure the antenna is functional and securely attached to ensure good signal quality.
Buttons and knobs – check that all control elements are functioning properly and that the display is readable.
Device housing – make sure the radio is free from cracks or other damages that could affect its performance or safety.
Testing Before Use
Regularly test the radio to ensure it can properly receive and transmit signals. Check range and transmission quality in different conditions.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning
After each use of the radio, especially in harsh conditions such as seawater or rain, wipe the device with a damp cloth to remove salt, dust, and contaminants.
Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the radio's housing.
Storage
Store the radio in a dry place, away from moisture and heat sources. Always ensure that it is stored in a location that provides easy access in emergencies.
If the device is equipped with a battery, remember to regularly charge or replace it to prevent it from draining or being damaged.
Emergency Situations
Communication in Crisis Situations
In an emergency, use the radio to call for help. Use the appropriate emergency frequencies (e.g., 156.8 MHz for VHF) and follow communication procedures. If necessary, use the SOS function or other alarms available on your device.
Transmit clear and concise information, such as your location, the nature of the problem, and the condition of the crew or passengers.
Device Failure
If the radio stops working during use, check the battery status, ensure the device is turned on, and check that the antenna is not damaged.
In case of serious malfunction, immediately remove the device from use and contact the manufacturer's service.
Contact in Case of Problems
If you notice manufacturing defects or damage to the radio, contact the manufacturer or point of sale to report the issue and get assistance. Do not modify the device yourself to avoid worsening its performance.
