1SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATIONImportant Information on Safe and Efficient Operation Read This Information Before Using Your Radio. The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information contained in user guides published before. Transmit and Receive Procedure Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver .To control your exposure and ensures compliance with the occupational/controlled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedure: ƹTransmit no more than 50% of the time, ƹTo transmit, press the Push to Talk (PTT) button. ƹTo 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) .
2Portable Radio Operation and EME Exposure Antenna Care Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE”. Holding the antenna affects the effective range. Two-Way Radio Operation When using your radio as a traditional two way radio, hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from the lips. Body-Worn Operation If you wear a radio on your body when transmitting, always place the radio in a ŗŦųŵŦŹġ ŔŵŢůťŢųť supplied or approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. If you do not use one of the ŗŦųŵŦŹġ ŔŵŢůťŢųť supplied or approved body-worn accessories, and are not using the radio held in the normal use position. Ensure the radio and its antenna are at least 1 inch(2.5 cm)from your body when transmitting. Data Operation If applicable, when using any data feature of the radio with or without an accessory cable, position the radio and its antenna at least 1 inch (2.5cm) from the body.
3Electromagnetic interference/Compatibility NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EM) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility. 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. Medical Devices Pacemakers The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and
4pacemaker .These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Persons with pacemakers should: ƹALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches (15cm)from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON. ƹNot carry the radio in the breast pocket. ƹUse the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. ƹTurn the radio OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place. Hearing Aids Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives. Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. You physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
5Safety and General Use While Driving Check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the area where you drive .Always obey them. When using your radio while driving, please: ƹGive full attention to driving and to the road, ƹUse hands-free operation, if available. ƹPull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
6Operational Warnings ƹFor Vehicles with an Air BagDo not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great forces. If a portable radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle. ƹPotentially Explosive AtmospheresTurn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially qualified for use in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe”. 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 atmosphere referred 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 atmosphere are often but not always posted. ƹBlasting caps and AreasTo avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in area posted;”Turn off two-way radio. Obey all signs and instructions.Warnings
