User Safety, Training, and General Information
READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION
BEFORE USING YOUR HYT PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIO.
Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards
Your HYT two-way 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 (FCC) and ICNIRP
exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty cycles of up
to 50% talk-50% listen and should be used 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.
Note: The approved batteries supplied with this radio are rated for a 5-5-90 duty cycle (5%
talk-5% listen-90% standby), even though this radio complies with the FCC
occupational RF exposure limits at duty cycles of up to 50% talk.
Your HYT two-way radio complies with the following of RF energy
exposure standards and guidelines:
zUnited States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations;
47CFR part 2 sub-part J
zAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992
zInstitute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1999 Edition
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
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) button; to receive, release the PTT button.
4

Hand-held radio operation
Hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm)
away from the lips.
Body-worn operation
zAlways place the radio in an HYT approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body
harness for this product. Use of non-HYT-approved accessories may exceed FCC
RF exposure guidelines.
Antennas & Batteries
Use only HYT approved, supplied antenna or HYT approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and may
violate FCC regulations.
zUse only HYT approved, supplied batteries or HYT approved replacement batteries.
Use of non- HYT -approved batteries may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Approved Accessories
For a list of HYT approved accessories, see the accessories page of this user manual or
visit the following website which lists approved accessories: http://www.hyt.com.cn
FCC Compliance
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.
 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
5

 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Licensing Requirements
Your radio must be properly licensed Federal Communications Commission prior to use.
Your HYT Wireless dealer can assist you in meeting these requirements. Your dealer will
program each radio with your authorized frequencies, signaling codes, etc., and will be
there to meet your communications needs as your system expands.
Precautions
•Only qualified technicians are allowed to maintain this product.
•Do not use the radio or charge a battery in explosive areas such as coal gas, dust,
steam, etc.
•Switch OFF the radio while refueling or parking at gas station.
•Do not modify or adjust this radio for any reason.
•Do not expose the radio to direct sunlight over a long time, nor place it close to heating
source.
•Do not place the radio in excessively dusty, humid areas, nor on unstable surfaces.
•The SAR measured values of this equipment are: of body-worn is 3.52 and face-held
is 2.29.
•Hold the radio in one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from your lips.
•If the ambient temperature is over-high to the degree that PCB board reaches 85℃
during transmitting process, the transmitting power of the radio will decrease.
Safety: It is important that the operator is aware of and understands hazards common to
the operation of any radio.

Battery Information
Battery Charging Information
The battery is not charged at the factory. Batteries must be fully charged before initial use
or if they have not been used for some period of time. The battery capacity will be
optimum only after being charged / discharged for two or three times. When the battery
power is low, it needs either to be charged or replaced with a new one.
Applicable Battery Packs
Charge only the HYT approved battery packs. Other batteries may burst and cause
personal injury.
Notes:
1. Do not short the battery terminals or dispose of the battery by fire.
2. Never attempt to disassemble the battery.
3. Charge the battery in 5 to 40 temperature, otherwise the battery can’t be fully
charged.
4. Turn off the radio equipped with batteries before charging. Using the radio while
charging its battery will interfere with correct charging.
5. Do not pull/plug the adaptor and the battery in the charging process to avoid interfering
with the charging phase.
6. When the battery operating time decreases even though it is fully and correctly charged,
that means the battery life is over, please replace it with a new one.
7. Do not recharge the optional Ni-MH battery if it is already fully charged, otherwise, the
battery life will be shortened or damage may be caused.
WARNING: Conductive metals including jewelry, key, decorating lace may result in short
circuit and generate a large quantity of heat when coming into contact with battery
electrodes. To avoid damage to articles or human injury, treat any battery with care,
especially when placing it into pocket, wallet or other mental containers.
8

Charging the Battery
When radio LED flashes red and three Beeps sound every 30 seconds after the battery is
installed, that means battery power is low. Please charge the battery.
You are recommended to use HYT-approved, supplied charger; Charger LED will indicate
the charging status.
LED Status
Glow red Charging
Glow green Fully charged
1. Plug the power cable into the adapter.
2. Plug the DC socket of adapter into the DC jack on the rear of the charger.
3. Insert the battery or the radio with battery into the charger cup.
4. Plug the AC socket of adapter into an AC outlet.
5. Make sure that the battery connectors are in contact with the charging terminals; the
charger LED glows red and charging begins.
6. The charger LED glows green when the battery is fully charged in about 3 hours, please
remove the battery or the radio with battery from the charger.
*Notes:
*Charger LED may flash if you connect the charger to power source before inserting the
battery.
9

*After removing the battery from charger, do not insert the battery or another one into
charger until charger LED glows green.
*If battery is properly inserted into the charger, charger LED will solidly glow red in
charging mode and flashes when the battery is damaged or ambient temperature is over
high or over low.
