Powering the transceiver:
Your FR1438-2 radio transceiver operates on four AAA batteries . You may operate
your FR1438-2 using the rechargeable batteries included or you may use alkaline
batteries. Alkaline batteries will provide slightly better performance than the
rechargeable batteries, but must never be recharged in the charging stand.
Installing the batteries:
To install batteries into the radio, it is necessary to remove the belt clip. To do this you
will need to release the spring clip securing the belt clip to radio and lift the belt clip
away from the radio body. Next, remove the battery compartment cover by sliding it
downward towards the bottom of the transceiver. Observe the polarity symbols on
the bottom of the tray when inserting the batteries. Replace the cover.

1.Press the spring clip
and slide the belt clip
upwards.
2. Slide the battery cover
downward. 3. Insertbatteriesobserving the polarity symbols on
the bottom of the tray.
5
Thefollowing guidelineswill improve performance and provide longer operating times
for the FR1438-2:
1. Do not mix old and new batteries.
2. The use of alkaline-type batteries is recommended to provide the longest operating
time.
3. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (Ni-MH) batteries.
4. If the unit is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries. Old
or leaking batteries can cause damage to the unit and will void the warranty.
Wrist Strap and Detachable Belt Clip Installation
The wrist strap and detachable belt clip are provided to enable you to carry the FR1438-2
easily and safely. The wrist strap can be attached to the hole located on the top of the
belt clip. Feed the small loop on the end of the strap through the hole and then pass
the strap through the loop and pull tight.
The detachable belt clip fits into the slot located on the rear of the unit. To remove the
belt clip, press the locking clip at the top of the belt clip away from the unit and slide
the belt clip upwards. To install the belt clip slide it down into the slot and snap in to
place.

Charging the FR1438-2:
Insert the charging transformer into a household electrical outlet and connect its
power jack to the socket on the rear of the charging stand. Simply placing the unit
into the charging stand will begin the charging process. The red LED on the front of
the charging transformer serves as a charge indicator. The charging stand will
charge two units simultaneously. Approximately 12 – 16 hours are required to fully
charge the batteries. Remember to turn your FR1438-2 OFF before placing it into
the charging stand.
Caution: The charging stand in your kit is intended for use with the supplied
batteries. Do not attempt to recharge any other batteries with the
charging stand.
Controls:

NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION
1 . The FR1438-2 14 channels are shared on a ‘take turns’ basis. This means
other groups may be talking on any of the channels. A common code of
ethics/courtesy is to switch to another vacant channel and not to attempt to
talk over someone who is already using the channel you first selected.
2. The FR1438-2 has been designed to maximize performance and improve
transmission range in the field. To avoid interference, it is recommended that
you do not use the units closer than 5 feet apart.
3. For best transmission results, always keep your mouth about 2-3 inches from
the microphone (9) and speak slowly in a normal voice.

Warning
•Remove the batteries from the transceiver if it is not expected to be used for long
periods. This will eliminate the possibility of chemicals leaking from the batteries
and corroding the transceiver.
•Avoid exposing the transceiver to water or extremes of temperature.
•Do not use this device in or near a mining facility, which uses remotely triggered
explosives or in areas labeled “Blasting Area”. Premature or accidental detonation
may result.
•Do not attempt to modify or in any way increase the output of this transceiver. Its
output is designed to meet the legal limits set by the F.C.C.
•Do not use this device or change its batteries in potentially explosive atmospheres
as sparks in such areas could result in an explosion.
•Turn your transceiver off wherever posted notices restrict the use of radios or cellular
telephones. Facilities such as hospitals may use equipment that is sensitive to
RF energy.
•Turn your transceiver off on board aircraft when requested to do so.
•Do not place your radio in front of a vehicle’s air-bag. If the air-bag deploys, it
could propel the transceiver like a projectile causing bodily injury.
This transceiver complies with F.C.C. regulations for use in the United States of
America. Use in other countries may be prohibited or restricted by local regulation.
Please check with the local regulating agency before using this device outside
the United States of America.
