Chapter 1. – Getting Started
BEFORE PROCEEDING INSURE:
• Qualified technicians shall service this equipment only. Do not modify the radio for any reason.
• Use only BTECH supplied or approved accessories.
• Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with explosive and flammable materials. Do
NOT USE your transceiver at a gas/fuel station
• For vehicles with an air bag, do not mount your radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag
deployment area.
• Do not expose the radio to direct sunlight over a long time, nor place it close to a heating
source.
• If the unit emits smoke or an odor, you should immediately cut off the power supply. Then send
the radio to the nearest service center or dealer
• Do not operate the mobile transceiver on high power unless it is necessary. Do not transmit for
long periods of time, as it may overheat the transceiver.
• Keep the unit away from dusty, damp and wet environments
• Use the correct power supply (~13.8VDC); do not use incorrect or higher voltage (e.g., 24VDC)

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your BTECH radio is designed to comply with the following national and international standards and
guidelines regarding exposure of human being to radio frequency electromagnetic energy:
- United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations: 47 CFR part 2 sub-
part J
- American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical & Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.
1-1992
- Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineer (IEEE) C95. 1-1999 Edition
- National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) of the
United States, Report 86, 1986
- International Commission on Non-lionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the general population or uncontrolled
environment exposure limits, transmit no more than 50% of the time. The radio generates measurable
RF energy exposure only when transmitting.
