ThisdevicecomplieswithPart15oftheFCC
Rules.Operationissubjecttothefollowingtwo
conditions:
(1)Thisdevicemaynotcauseharmfulinterference.
(2)Thisdevicemustacceptanyinterference
received,includinginterferencethatmaycause
undesiredoperation.
Important:Anychangesormodificationsnot
expresslyapprovedbythepartyresponsiblefor
compliancecouldvoidtheuser'sauthorityto
operatethisdevice.Yourradioissetuptotransmit
aregulatedsignalonanassignedfrequency.Itis
againstthelawtoalteroradjustthesettingsinside
theradiotoexceedthoselimitations.Any
adjustmentstoyourradiomustbemadeby
qualifiedtechnicians.
To be safe and sure:
•Neveropenyourradio’scase.
•Neverchangeorreplaceanythinginyourradio
exceptthebatteries.
YourradiomightcauseTVorradiointerference
evenwhenitisoperatingproperly.Todetermine
whetheryourradioiscausingtheinterference,turn
itoff.Iftheinterferencegoesaway,yourradiois
causingit.Trytoeliminatetheinterferenceby
movingyourradioawayfromthereceiver.Ifyou
cannoteliminatetheinterference,theFCCrequires
thatyoustopusingtheradio.
Hazardous Environments: Donotoperatethe
radioinhazardousenvironments.Explosionorfire
mayresult.Donotoperatetheradionear
unshieldedelectricalblastingcaps.
Undercertainconditions,radioscaninterferewith
blastingoperationsandmaycauseanexplosion.
TurnyourradioOFFtopreventaccidental
transmissionwheninablastingareaorinareas
posted:"Turnofftwo-wayradio."Construction
crewsoftenuseremotecontrolRFdevicestoset
offexplosives.
Care and Safety:Tocleantheradio,useasoft
clothdampenedwithwater.Donotusecleanersor
solventsbecausetheycanharmthebodyofthe
unitandleakinside,causingpermanentdamage.
Useadry,lint-freeclothtocleanthebattery
contacts.
Important:Evidenceoforiginalpurchaseis
requiredforwarrantyservice.
