Transmit and Receive Procedure Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the general population/uncontrolled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedure: • Transmit no more than 50% of the time.• To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (PTT) button.Page 6 Page 7
• To receive calls, release the PTT button.Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring standards compliance). Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy Your radio is designed to comply with the following national and international standards and guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy: Two-Way Radio Operation When using your radio as a traditional two-way radio, hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from the lips. Facilities To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy. Aircraft When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions. Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted. Blasting Caps and Areas To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions. Operational Cautions Antennas Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result. Safety and General Information Batteries All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with Page 8 Page 9
metal objects. Battery Charger Safety Instructions 1. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.2. Do not operate or disassemble the charger if it has received a sharp blow,or has been dropped or damaged in any way. 3. Never alter the AC cord or plug provided with the unit. If the plug willnot fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. An improper condition can result in a risk of electric shock. 4. To reduce the risk of damage to the cord or plug, pull the plug rather thanthe cord when disconnecting the charger from the AC receptacle. 5. To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outletbefore attempting any maintenance or cleaning. 6. Use of an attachment, not recommended, may result in a risk of fire,electric shock, or personal injury. 7. Make sure the cord is located where it will not be stepped on, trippedover, or subjected to damage or stress. 8. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use ofan improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and/or electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure that: • The pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size, andshape as those on the plug of the charger. • The extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.• The cord size is 18 AWG for lengths up to 100 feet, and 16 AWG forlengths up to 150 feet.
