•Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), press the Push-to-Talk (PTT) key. To
receive calls, release the [PTT] key. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio generates
measurable RF energy only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).
•Keep the radio unit at least 2.5cm away from the face. Keeping the radio at the proper distance is important as RF
exposure decreases with distance from the antenna. The antenna should be kept away from the face and eyes.
•When worn on the body, always place the radio in an approved holder, holster, case, or body harness or by use of the
correct clip for this product. Use of non-approved accessories may result in exposure levels which exceed the FCC's
occupational/ controlled environmental RF exposure limits.
•Use of non-approved antennas, batteries, and accessories causes the radio to exceed the FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Use Caution with the Li-ion Battery
(1) Do not short the battery terminals or throw the battery into a fire. Never try to remove the case from the battery pack,
as our company is not responsible for any accidents caused by modified batteries.
(2) The ambient temperature should be between 5℃-40℃(40˚F - 105˚F) while charging the battery. Charging outside this
range may not fully charge the battery.
(3) Please turn off the radio before inserting it into the charger. It may otherwise interfere with correct charging.
(4) To avoid interfering with the charging cycle, please do not cut off the power or remove the battery during charging until
the green light is on.
(5) Do not recharge the battery pack if it is fully charged. This may shorten the life of the battery pack or damage the
battery pack.
(6) Do not charge the battery or the radio if it is damp. Dry it before charging to avoid damage.
WARNING:
» When keys, ornamental chain or other electric metals contact the battery terminal, the battery may become damage or
injure a human. If the battery terminals are short circuited it will generate a lot of heat.
Take care when carrying and using the battery. Remember to put the battery or radio into an insulated container. Do not
put it into a metal container.
How to Charge
Follow these steps to hook up and use the charger:
(1) Plug the DC connector of the power adaptor into the charger base.
(2) Plug the AC connector of the power adaptor into a main AC wall outlet.
(3) Place the radio in the charging slot on the charger.
(4) Make sure the radio is making contact with the charger. When the red LED comes on steady, your radio is charging.
