RF Energy Exposure Compliance
Your radio is designed and tested to comply with a
number of national and international standards and
guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure
to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio
complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for
occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at
operating duty factors of up to 50% transmitting and is
authorized by the FCC for occupational use only. In terms
of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC
exposure guidelines, your radio radiates measurable RF
energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not
when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Your radio complies with the following of RF energy
exposure standards and guidelines
United States Federal Communications Commission,
Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part
J
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
C95. 1-1992

Operational Instructions and Training Guidelines
To ensure optimal performance and compliance with the
occupational/controlled environment RF energy exposure
limits in the above standards and guidelines, users should
transmit no more than 50% of the time and always adhere
to the following procedures:
Transmit and Receive
To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) key; to
receive, release the PTT key.
FCC Licensing Information
Part 15 Compliance
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
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 interference will not occur in
a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
C o n n e c t t h e e q u i p m e n t i n t o a n o u t l e t o n a
circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ T V
technician for help.

Scan
Scan Type:
You can ask your dealer to enable one of the following
scan types for your radio.
Normal Scan
It allows you to listen to communication activities on other
channels so that you can keep a close track of your team
members.
2. Vote Scan
It applies to multi-frequency simulcast systems, which
are suitable for places with abundant spectrum resource.
In the system, the repeater allows for wide coverage. A
typical multi-frequency simulcast system is composed
of a set of scattered base stations that are transmitting
1.
at the same frequency. In this system, the radios are
configured to transmit at the same frequency, but to
receive at different frequencies. The radio scans the
frequencies of these base stations, and selects the
closest base station to communicate through voting
algorithm.
Operation:
1. Scan Start
Scan Start for Normal Scan:
Press the programmed Scan key in standby mode;
or
Operate on a channel for which the feature “Auto
Scan” is enabled via the programming software.
Scan Start for VOTE Scan:
The radio will activate VOTE scan automatically upon
power-on.
2. After the feature is enabled, your radio will scan
according to the scan list set for the channel on
which scanning starts. The scanning process is as
follows:
The LED ashes green during scanning.

When activities are detected on a channel, the radio
will stay on the channel to receive current activities
and the LED glows green.
If you don’t want to hear activities on the channel,
press the progr amm ed N ui sa nc e Te mpo rar y
Delete key to remove the channel from the scan list
temporarily, or the programmed Nuisance Channel
Delete key to remove the channel from the scan list
permanently.
3. To exit the scanning process, press the programmed
Scan key again. Besides the above method, you can
exit scanning in the following ways:
Switch to a channel without a scan list, or switch to a
channel with the feature “Auto Scan” disabled.
Press one of the programmed Call 1-Call 5 keys.
The Stun code is received.
Enable the Emergency function.
Turn the radio off.

Functions and Operations
Note: You can request your dealer to create a scan list
for each channel. Each list may contain 16 channels at
most. You can delete a channel from the scan list only
when there are more than 2 channels in the scan list.

Functions and Operations
3. Emergency Mode
Once the radio enters Emergency mode, it will switch
to the preset Emergency Revert Channel. A complete
process includes the following stages: transmit ID,
transmit alarm/transmit background tone and forcibly
receive. The cycles and duration of each stage can be
programmed by your dealer. The emergency methods
include:
1. No alarm tone sounds.
2. The alarm tone can be heard by the transmitting
party only.
3. The alarm tone can be heard by the receiving party
only.
4. The alarm tone can be heard by both parties.
5. Sec ret ala r m. If t he fe atu re “ S ec ret A l ar m” is
enabled, the radio will enter the secret alarm mode,
without any visible or audible indication.
VOX
This feature allows you to transmit your voice with no need
to press the PTT. However, you must employ a dedicated
earpiece to realize this function.
Operation:
