3 REFER TO FM ENERGY IS PRESENT NEAR THE ANTENNA DURING TRANSMISSION. MAINTAIN AT LEAST 30 INCHES BETWEEN VEHICULAR ANTENNA AND PERSONNEL DURING VOLTAGEEXISTS AT CONNECTOR J1 ON VEHICULAR MOUNTING ADAPTER. AVOID PERSONAL IN- JURY:BE SURE J1 IS COVERED OR CAPPED WHEN NOT IN OR SERIOUS INJURY CAN RESULT: When antenna tip caps are not installed on antennas. When a tied-down antenna hits a fixed object such as an overhead bridge, tree limb, antenna parts might strike nearby 11-5820-890-10-3 WARNING A lithium battery used with your manpack radio contains pressurized sulfur dioxide gas.

4 The gas istoxic, and the battery MUST NOT be abused in any way which may cause the battery to rupture. DO NOT heat, short circuit, crush, puncture, mutilate, or disassemble batteries. DO NOT USE any battery which shows signs of damage, such as bulging. swelling, disfigurement, abrown liquid in the plastic wrap, a swollen plastic wrap, etc. DO NOT test lithium batteries for capacity. DO NOT recharge lithium batteries. DO NOT dispose of lithium batteries with ordinary trash/refuse. Turn in discharged batteries to localsupply.

5 If the battery compartment becomes hot to the touch, if you hear hissing or burping ( , batteryventing), or smell irritating gas (sulfur dioxide), IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF the equipment and leavethe the equipment to cool at least one and replace battery after the equipment has cooled to the there is a safety incident, or if you believe a safety hazard exists, notify your local SafetyOffice/Officer, file a Product Quality Deficiency Report. SF Form 368, and notify the CECOMS afety Office, Ft.

6 Monmouth, NJ at AV 995-3112. DO NOT use a Halon type fire extinguisher on a lithium battery fire. In the event of a fire near a lithium battery(ies), rapid cooling of the lithium battery(ies) is the equipment with water, or use a carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguisher. Control of theequipment fire, and cooling, may prevent the battery from venting and potentially exposing lithiummetal. In the event that lithium metal becomes involved in fire, the use of a graphite based Class Dfire extinguisher is recommended.

7 DO NOT store batteries in unused equipment. DO NOT store lithium batteries with other hazardous materials. Keep them away from open flame 11-5820-890-10-3 TECHNICAL MANUALH eadquartersDepartment of the ArmyTM 11-5820-890-10-3 Washington, , 1 September 1992 Operator s ManualRADIO SETSMANPACK (MP)AN/PRC-119 (NSN 5820-01-151-9915) (EIC: L2A)SHORT RANGE VEHICULAR RADIO (SR)AN/VRC-87 (NSN 5820- 01-151-9916) (EIC: L2T)SHORT RANGE VEHICULAR RADIO (SR)AN/VRC-87D (NSN 5820-01-351-5259) (WITH SINGLE RADIO MOUNT) (EIC: TBD)SHORT RANGE VEHICULAR RADIO WITH DISMOUNT (SR-D)AN/VRC-88 (NSN 5820-01-151-9917) (EIC.)
