Thanks for your favor in our product. This manual is helpfulfor you to quickly know how to use the prodcut.
This manual is applicable to the following product:B3X PMR446 Portable Radio (X may represent 0-9)
RF Radiation Information
The radio is not intended for use by general population in an uncontrolled environment. It is only for occupational useand only applied to work-related conditions. The
radio must be only used by users, who are fully awareof the hazards of the exposure and who are able to exercise control over their RF exposure to qualify for
thehigher exposure limits.
RF Radiation Profile
Radio Frequency (RF) is a frequency of electromagnetic radiation in the range at which radio signals are transmitted. RF technology is widely used in communication,
medicine,food processing and other fields. It may generate radiation during use.

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:
RF energy will be generated only when the radio is transmitting.
The radio must be 2.5 centimeters away from humanbody when transmitting.
User Manual 02
RF Radiation Safety
In order to ensure user health, experts from relevant industries including science, engineering, medicine andhealth work with international organizations to develop
standards for safe exposure to RF radiation. These standards consist of:
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J;
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Instituteof Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992;
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1 – 1999;
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998;
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 1999/5/EC.
Please note that the above information is applicable to EU countries only.

Turn off the radio before removing the battery.
If not assembled with battery specified by Company, the radio will give
alarm tone to remind you when powering on. Afterwards, it will operate
normally.

Note
Do not swing the radio when holding it by the antenna, so as to avoid lowering
the performance and shorteningthe life span of the antenna.
