They include fueling areas such as below deck on boats; fuel orchemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals orparticles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where youwould normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.65CAUTIONWARNINGDamaged ANTENNAFor Vehicles with an Air BagPotentially Explosive AtmospheresBatteriesBatteriesBlasting Caps and AreasDo not use any FRS/GMRS that has a damaged ANTENNA. If a damaged ANTENNAcomes in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result.Turn your FRS/GMRS OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere,unless it is a type especially qualified for such use (for example, Factory MutualApproved). Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in injury orDo not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contactsparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.even death.Do not place your FRS/GMRS in the area over an air bag or in the air bagdeployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a FRS/GMRS is placed in theair bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the FRS/GMRS may be propelledwith great force and cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns ifconductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches exposedterminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) andbecome quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularlywhen placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.Care and SafetyTo clean the unit, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water. Don't usecleaners or solvents on the unit; they can harm the case and leak inside,causing permanent damage. Battery contacts may be wiped with a dry, lint-free cloth.Exposure to Radio Frequency EnergyThe Relevant Guidelines and Standards Are:For Portable Two-Way FRSGMRS/Electromagnetic Interference/CompatibilityTo ensure optimal unit performance and to ensure that exposure to RFenergy is within the guidelines in the above standards, the followingoperating procedures should be observed:Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI)if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagneticcompatibility.Turn your unit OFF in any facilities where posted notices instruct you to do so.Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive toTurn your unit OFF when on board an aircraft when instructed to do so. Any useof the unit must be in accordance with airline regulations or crew instructions.external RF energy.If the unit gets wet, turn it OFF and remove the batteries immediately. Drythe BATTERY COMPARTMENT with a soft cloth to minimize potential waterdamage. Leave cover off the BATTERY COMPARTMENT overnight or untilcompletely dry. Do not use the unit until completely dry.When transmitting with a FRS/GMRS, hold the FRS/GMRS in a vertical position withits MICROPHONE 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 cm) away from your mouth. Keep theANTENNA at least 2 inch (5 cm) from your head and body.If you wear a FRS/GMRS on your body, ensure that the ANTENNA is at leasttwo inch (5 cm) from your body when transmitting.FCC Report and Order FCC 96-326 (August, 1996)American National Standards Institute (C95-1-1992)National Council Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP-1986)FCC Notice7The FCC requires that you be advised of certain requirements involving theuse of this device.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference toradio or television reception (which can be determined by turning theequipment off and on), the user is encouraged to correct the interference byone or more of the following measures:Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to whichthe receiver is connected.Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.This equipment generates or uses radio frequency energy.Changes or modifications not expressly approved in writing may causeharmful interference and void the user's authority to operate this equipment.FCC WARNING:FCC INFORMATION: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.Operation is subject to the following two conditions:(1) This device may notcause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interferencereceived, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Privacyof communications may not be ensured when using this equipment.Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When theTALK button is pushed it sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. The devise isauthorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50%. In August 1996, the FederalCommunications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levelsfor hand-held wireless devices.Use only the supplied . Unauthorized ANTENNAS, modifications, orattachments could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.ANTENNATo maintain compliance with the FCC's RF exposure guidelineshold the transmitter and ANTENNA at least 2 inch (5 cm) from your face andspeak in a normal voice, with the pointed up and away from the face. Ifyou wear the handset on your body while using the headset accessory, useonly the supplied BELT CLIP for this product and when transmitting, take it outof the belt to ensure that the is at least 2 inch (5 cm) from your body.CAUTION:ANTENNAANTENNASAFETY INFORMATION:Carefully remove your FRS/GMRS from the Blister Pack. If there is any visibledamage, do not attempt to operate this FRS/GMRS. Return it to the place ofpurchase.Accessory ConnectionThe FRS/GMRS is designed to be used with accessories (Earphone,Microphone, etc.).The design of your FRS/GMRS, which generates radio frequency (RF) electro-magnetic energy (EME), complies with the following national and internationalstandards and guidelines.International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP-1998)
