Chapter1. Getting Started
1.1 Regulations and Safety Warnings
FCC Regulatory Conformance
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 installation.
This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. Verification of harmful interference by this equipment to radio or television
reception can be determined by turning it off and then 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.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause
harmful interference.
WARNING！MODIFICATION OF THIS DEVICE TO RECEIVE CELLULAR RADIOTELEPHONE SERVICE SIGNALS IS PROHIBIITED
UNDER FCC RULES AND FEDERRAL LAW.

EU Regulatory Conformance
As certified by the qualified laboratory, the product is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant
provisions of the Directive 2014/53/EU. All applicable EU regulations are regarded (2006/66/EC, 2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863,
2012/19/EU). NOTE: It can be operating under 2000m.
WARNING！European Users should note that operation of this unit in Transmit mode requires the operator to have a valid
Amateur Radio License from their respective Countries Amateur Radio Licensing Authority for the Frequencies and
Transmitter Power levels that this Radio transmits on. Failure to comply may be unlawful and liable for prosecution. At this
subject, refer to the “EU” specification guide 2014/53/EU.
Please note that the above information is applicable to EU countries only.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
The radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:
•United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR § 1.1307, 1.1310 and 2.1093
•American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1:2005; Canada
RSS102 Issue 5 March 2015
•Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1:2005 Edition
RF Exposure Compliance and Control
Guidelines and Operating Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/ controlled environmental exposure limits, always
adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines:

3
•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), 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.
•Contact your local dealer for the product's optional accessories.

Chapter2. Battery Information
2.1 Charging the Battery Pack
The Li-ion battery pack is not charged at the factory; please charge it before use. Charging the battery pack for the first time
after purchase or extended storage (more than 2 months) may not bring the battery pack to its normal maximum operating
capacity. Best operation will require fully charging/ discharging the battery two or three times before the operating capacity
will reach its best performance. The battery pack life may be depleted when it’s operating time decreases even though it
has been fully and correctly charged. If this is the case, replace the battery pack.

7
2.2 Charger Supplied
Please use the specified charger provided by BAOFENG. Other models may cause explosion and personal injury. After
installing the battery pack, and if the radio displays low battery with a voice prompt, please charge the battery.
2.3 Use Caution with the Li-ion Battery
a. Do not short the battery terminals or throw the battery into a fire. Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery
pack, as BAOFENG cannot be held responsible for any accident caused by modifying the battery.
b. 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.
c. Please turn off the radio before inserting it into the charger. It may otherwise interfere with correct charging.
d. 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.
e. 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.
f. 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.
2.4 How to Charge
a. Plug the AC adaptor into the AC outlet, and then plug the cable of the AC adaptor into the DC jack located on the back of
the charger. The indicator light blinks orange and is then ready to charge a battery.

8
b. Plug the battery or the radio into the charger. Make sure the battery terminals are good in contact with charging terminals.
The indicator light turns to red--- charging begins.
c. It takes approximately 2-5 hours to fully charge the battery. When the lamp lights green, the charging is completed.
Remove the battery or the radio unit with its battery from socket.
When charging a radio (with battery) the indicating lamp will not turn into green to show the fully charged status if the
radio is powered on. Only when the radio is switched off will the lamp indicate normal operation. The radio consumes
energy when it is power-on, and the charger cannot detect the correct battery voltage when the battery has been fully
charged. So the charger will charge the battery in constant voltage mode and fail to indicate correctly when the battery
has been fully charged.
