[. . . ] 1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL Please read carefully through the following information concerning safety and proper use. 2 • • BURNING INJURIES If the cover of the antenna is damaged, do not touch because when an antenna comes in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result when transmitting. Batteries can cause property damage such as burns if conductive material such as jewellery, keys or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot.
