SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read all warnings carefully before using the radio:
• Do not use the radio equipment for different uses other than those indicated in this
Guide.
• For the correct use of the radio read what is listed in the relative User Guide rstly.
• Protect the radio from spray of water and/or other liquids and from dust.
• Do not bring the radio close to heat sources.
• Do not place the portable radio above the airbags or in their area of action. If the
airbag is activated, it may not swell correctly and/or hurl the portable unit, with great
force, inside the compartment where are located the passengers.
• Protecting the external antenna connector with proper cover when it isn’t used in
normal operative conditions.
• It is advisable to cover the connector when it isn’t used in normal operative condi-
tions.
• Replace the batteries with equivalent, which are approved by the manufacture.
• Replace the batteries following the instructions given in the technical manual.
• Make sure that batteries aren’t damaged and don’t have liquid leaks or evident
gaseous emissions.
• Do not use the radio if the battery is damaged.
• Put the battery charger far from heat resources and in such a way as to guarantee
its correct aeration as well as safe accessibility to the network power supply outlet.
Do not use the battery charger outside of the environments for which it was speci-
ed (eg. external environment).
• Use only battery chargers recommended by the manufacture and follow the instruc-
tions described in the user manual to recharge the battery.
• Do not use the radio if the antenna is damaged.
• Turn off the radio or inhibit transmission, if the equipment allows it, in the electro-
magnetically sensitive environments (ex. hospitals, airports, etc.).
• The electronic devices are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if not
adequately shielded, designed or congured differently for electromagnetic elds
immunity. If electromedical equipment (ex. pace-makers, acoustical equipment,
etc.) is used together with the portable radio, make sure that it is adequately shield-
ed from external electromagnetic elds.
• Carry out the maintenance interventions on the portable radio following the instruc-
tions given in the technical manual.
• Follow all accident prevention standards when carrying out maintenance interven-
tions on the portable radio equipment and use the proper tools (spanners, screw-

11
drivers, etc.).
• First and second maintenance level interventions on the equipment are to be car-
ried out by authorized technicians only.
• Third maintenance level interventions are to be carried out by CALTTA technicians
only.
• Use only original accessories and spare parts, approved by the manufacturer, suit-
able for the PH690 U(1) The use of different accessories and/or spare parts (earphone,
antenna,etc.)makes the safety and electromagnetic compatibility certications to be
valid no more and it could lower the user safety level and/or generate electromag-
netic elds that exceed the accepted limits.
• Follow the battery charger instructions in order to use it correctly.
• During voice calls, the PH690 U(1) use with its proper bag is not recommended in envi-
ronments which temperature can be over 45°C.
• The emergency call is a priority type call. The portable radio, like all mobile telepho-
ny equipment, operates with radio frequency signals, therefore, the forwarding of
the call depends on the network coverage during the call.
• If you need send an emergency call, keep pressing the emergency button for at
least 2 seconds, when the radio is switched on.
• Do not cause short circuits between the battery terminals. Do not set the batteries
on metal surfaces. Do not set metal tools on the battery terminals. Be careful when
handling ant battery, when placing it in a pocket, purse/bag or any other.
• Do not use the battery charger if the power supply cable and/or the plug are dam-
aged.
• If the battery is incorrectly replaced existing the dangerous risk of explosion.
• Even if the battery is discharge, the risk of explosion exists if the battery is disposed
on re.
• Do not take the radio into environments that have a potentially explosive atmo-
sphere(ex. fuel storage sites, lling stations,etc.). Even when it is off, the radio,
being equipped with battery, might casually generate sparks that could trigger res
and/or explosions.
• Do not use the battery charger in environments that have a potentially explosive
atmosphere(ex. fuel storage sites, lling stations,etc.). The use of battery charger
might generate sparks that could trigger res and/or explosions.
• In order to further increase the level of user safety, you have to observe the follow-
ing precautions:
• The PH690 U(1) radio is equipped with an automatic system to control the power trans-
mitted so that the radio transmits at the maximum power only in exceptional cases
(radio coverage limit, emergency call). Avoid touching the antenna when the radio is
on and especially during transmission because the ability of transmitting power gets
worse.
• During voice communications in earphone mode hold the portable radio with the
antenna straight and above your shoulder and speak directly into the microphone.
• Hold the portable radio in the vertical position and always at least 2.5 cm away from

12
your head during voice communications in loudspeaker mode.
COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE STANDARDS
CALTTA two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national
and international standards and guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy.
This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupa-
tional/controlled RF exposure environments at operating duty factors of up to 50%
talk-50% listen and is authorized by the IEE/ICNIRP for occupational use only.
Control Guidelines:
User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other
users.
Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.
Operating Instructions:
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To receive calls,
release PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because this
radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting(in terms of
measuring for standards compliance).
Hold the radio in vertical position in front of the face with the microphone (and other
parts of the radio including the antenna) at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the nose
or lips. Antenna should be kept away from the eye. Keeping the radio at a proper
distance is important since RF exposures decrease as the distance from antenna
increases.

FCC STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device,pursuant to part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential instal-
lation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions , may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interfer-
ence will not occur in a particular installation. lf this equipment does cause harmful
