SAFETY INFORMATION AND WARNINGS

Read this information before using your radio.
Radio Antenna
Do not use any radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes in contact with the skin, a minor burn may
result.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and violate compliance. Do NOT change or
modify the antenna.
Do NOT hold the antenna when the radio is "IN USE." Holding the antenna reduces range and may cause bodily harm.
Safety and general use in a vehicle
Check the State and Federal laws and regulations regarding the use of two way radios in the area where you drive, and
always obey them.
Do not place your radio in the area over an airbag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a radio
is placed in the air bag eployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force and cause serious
unjury to the occupants of the vehicle.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or
beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The 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 metal
objects.
Do not replace batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing
batteries and cause an explosion.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion
or fire resulting in injury or even death.
NOTE: Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such
as below deck 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.
Blasting caps and areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your radio OFF near electrical blasting caps or in a "blasting
area" or in areas posted: "Turn off the two way radio." Obey all signs and instructions.
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 ad here to the following procedure:
• Transmit no more than 50% of the time
• To receive calls, release the PTT button
• To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (PTT) button
Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio generates measurable RFenergy exposure only when
transmitting (in terms of measuring standards compliance). Alwayshold the radio approximately 5cm in front of your mouth with
the antenna pointing away from your head.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI). To avoid the possibility of electromagnetic
interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so such
as health care facilities.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when onboard an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with
applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.
Medical Devices – Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6inches (15cm) be maintained
between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker. People with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 15cm from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON
• Not carry the radio in the breast pocket
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference
• Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place
