7 SAFETY
!
Damaged antenna
Do not use any PMR that has a damaged antenna. If a
damaged antenna comes in contact with the skin, a minor
burn may result.
!
Rechargeable 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.
!
Warning for vehicles with an air bag
Do not place your unit in the area over an air bag or in the
air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force.
If a unit is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air
bag inflates, the device may be propelled with great force
and cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
!
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn your unit off when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere, unless it is a type especially qualified
for such use (for example, factory mutual approved). Sparks
in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
injury or even death.
!
Batteries
Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or
removing batteries and cause an explosion.
!
Blasting caps and areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations,
turn your device 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.

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.

3.1 Den Gürtelclip entfernen
•Ziehen Sie an der Gürtelclip-
halterung des PMR-Geräts.
•Während des Ziehens an der
Gürtelcliphalterung drücken Sie
gleichzeitig den Gürtelclip nach
oben, siehe Abb.1.
3.2 Den Gürtelclip anbringen
•Schieben Sie den Gürtelclip in den dafür vorgesehenen Einschub,
sieheAbb.2.
>Durch ein Klicken wird angezeigt, dass der Gürtelclip in seiner
Position eingerastet ist.
3.3 Die Batterien einlegen (siehe P3)
Achtung:
Achten Sie beim Einlegen der Batterien auf die richtige Ausrichtung
der Polarität. Durch ein falsches Einlegen können sowohl die Batterien
als auch das Gerät beschädigt werden.
•Schieben Sie die Batteriefachabdeckung nach unten.
•Legen Sie die aufladbaren Batterien entsprechend der in P3
gezeigten Ausrichtung ein.
•Schließen Sie die Batterieabdeckung wieder.
Wichtig:
Lesen Sie vor dem Aufladen der Batterien diese Sicherheits-
warnungen durch.
•Wenn Sie das PMR-Gerät in der Ladestation aufladen, benutzen Sie
dazu nur die Netzteile, die in der mitgelieferten Bedienungsanleitung
aufgeführt sind.
•Unterlassen Sie den Versuch, nicht-wiederaufladbare Batterien
aufzuladen.
•Stellen Sie sicher, dass beim Laden der Batterien die Abdeckung

•Entsorgen Sie leere Batterien ordnungsgemäß und so, dass sie die
Umwelt nicht belasten, versuchen Sie nie, sie zu verbrennen und
lassen Sie sie nicht an Orten, wo sie verbrannt oder beschädigt
werden könnten.
•Lassen Sie die leeren Batterien nicht in Ihren PMR-Geräten. Sie
könnten auslaufen und das PMR-Gerät beschädigen.
3.4 Die Batterien aufladen
3.4.1 Die Batterien mit dem Desktop-Ladegerät aufladen
(Modell R320) (siehe P4)
•Stecken Sie den schmalen Stecker des Netzteils in die
Stromanschlussbuchse hinten am Desktop-Ladegerät.
•Stecken Sie das Netzteil in eine Netzsteckdose (240 V WS, 50 Hz).
•Stellen Sie die Geräte senkrecht in die Auflade-Basisstationen. Die
LED-Anzeige für das Aufladen leuchtet auf.
•Wenn die Batterien völlig leer sind, dauert die vollständige
Wiederaufladung ca. 10 Stunden. Neue Batterien brauchen bis
zu14Stunden, um sie vollständig aufzuladen.
Wichtig:
•Das PMR-Gerät muss mit dem mitgelieferten Netzteil aufgeladen
werden. Die Verwendung eines anderen Netzteils bedeutet
ein Verstoß gegen die Norm EN60950-1 und führt dazu, dass
Zulassungen und Garantien ungültig werden.
•Schalten Sie beim Aufladen die PMR-Geräte immer aus. Dadurch
wird die Ladezeit verkürzt.
3.4.2 Den Adapter benutzen (Modell R300/ R320) (siehe P5)
•Nehmen Sie die Abdeckung der Ladebuchse auf der rechten Seite
Ihres PMR-Geräts ab.
•Stecken Sie den Rundanschluss des Netzteils (9 V GS,200 mA) in die
Ladebuchse.
•Stecken Sie das Netzteil in eine Netzsteckdose (240 V WS, 50 Hz).
Wichtig:
•Benutzen Sie nur die Netzteile, die in dieser Anleitung aufgeführt
werden. (Csec AC (WS)-Adaptor brand; Model -CSD0900200G,
Stromversorgung).
