RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and
Operating Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/
controlled environment
exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines:
• Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.
• 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 transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive
calls, release the 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 a vertical position in front of face with the
microphone (and the other parts of the radio, including the antenna)
at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from the nose. Keeping the radio at
the proper distance is important because RF exposures decrease
with distance from the antenna. Antenna should be kept away from
eyes.
• When worn on the body, always place the radio in approved clip,
holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Use of non-
approved accessories may result in exposure levels, which exceed
the occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits.
• Use only manufacturer’s approved supplied or replacement
antennas, batteries, and accessories. Use of non-manufacturer-
name approved antennas, batteries, and accessories may exceed
the FCC and IC RF exposure guidelines.

contrôle et Instructions opérationnelles
Pour contrôler votre exposition et garantir le respect des limites
d'exposition dans un environnement professionnel / contrôlé, suivez
toujours les procédures suivantes.
Des lignes directrices:
• Ne retirez pas l'étiquette d'exposition RF de l'appareil.
• Les instructions de sensibilisation des utilisateurs doivent
accompagner l'appareil lors de leur transfert à d'autres utilisateurs.
• N'utilisez pas cet appareil si les exigences opérationnelles décrites ici
ne sont pas remplies.
Mode d'emploi:
• Ne transmet pas plus que le facteur de marche nominal de 50%
du temps. Pour transmettre (parler), appuyez sur le bouton Push-
To-Talk (PTT). Pour recevoir des appels, relâchez le bouton PTT.
La transmission 50% du temps, ou moins, est importante car cette
radio génère une exposition mesurable à l'énergie RF uniquement

lors de la transmission (en termes de mesure pour la conformité aux
normes).
• Tenez la radio en position verticale devant le visage avec le
microphone (et les autres parties de la radio, y compris l'antenne)
à au moins 2,5 cm du nez. Garder la radio à la bonne distance est
important car les expositions RF diminuent avec la distance de
l'antenne. L'antenne doit être tenue à l'écart des yeux.
• Lorsqu'elle est portée sur le corps, placez toujours la radio dans
un clip, un support, un étui, un étui ou un harnais de sécurité
approuvés pour ce produit. L'utilisation d'accessoires non approuvés
peut entraîner des niveaux d'exposition qui dépassent les limites
d'exposition aux RF de l'environnement professionnel / contrôlé.

Transmitting/Receiving
After starting up successfully, the user can conduct various call
operations.
Precautions for radio use:
·When the radio is transmitting, keep the radio in a vertical position,
and keep the microphone 2.5-5 cm away from the mouth. When
transmitting, the radio should be at least 2.5 cm away from the head
or body.
·Do not turn on/off the radio repeatedly during use, and adjust the
volume to a level suitable for your hearing.
Precautions for radio operation:
1. Before using the radio for communication, please set the transmitter
and receiver to the same frequency point.
2. After the analog channel is configured with the same sub-code
frequency, the radios can communicate normally; radios with
mismatched sub-code cannot communicate.
3. After encrypting the digital channel, the receiver and transmitter
need to set the same password in order to perform normal
communication.
4. If the digital channel sets the color code, only when the transmitting
color code and receiving color code are the same can the radios
communicate.
5. Transmit/receive at high/low power (switch by P1/P2 key).
6. After inserting the headset, press the [PTT] key to transmit and
receive speech through the headset.
7. Transmit with VOX headset after enabling VOX (turn on/off VOX
through side key and insert the VOX headset).

4. If set to low power, the transmission distance is short, but the low
power consumption.
DTMF Conguration
1. The DTMF interface of the programming software can congure
the DTMF function related parameters, such as side tone,
duration, interval time, online telegram code, oine telegram code,
transmission start sound, transmission end sound, transmission
start and end sound.
2. After the transmitter turns on the side tone, when the [PTT] key is
pressed to transmit, the transmitter itself will also give DTMF sound.
Emergency Call
1. Congure functions of the alarm system through programming
software, such as alarm channel, re-transmission times, and alarm
type.
2. Emergency call supports the digital channel and analog channel.
3. Set Alarm key as the“Emergency Call” button .
4. When Analog or Digital channel triggers emergency call, an
emergency call code will be sent. Emergency call will be
automatically transmitted after remaining re-transmit call becomes 0,
and automatic emergency calls will repeat transmit twice.
5. The transmitter will sound the alert tone after the emergency call is
sent. Receiver side also will receive an alert tone after receiving the
emergency call.

software.
3. When making private call, only when the frequency is the same, the other
party's ID exists and is in standby state communication can be made.
4. When making group call, pay attention to whether the contact is in
the receiving group, and all radios in the same receiving group can
receive the speech.
5. When making all call, all channels with the same frequency can
receive the speech, and the all call ID is xed.
