onlysettheBeepTonefromtheMenumode.
Choosing an Emergency/Weather Channel
Thereare7NOAAchannelfrequenciesavailableand
thesefrequenciesarecommonbetweentheUSand
Canada.Youneedtoknowwhatfrequencyisbeing
transmittedinyourlocation.
1)PressandholdWX/ALERT. appears.
2)Whentheunitreceivesawarningsignal,itbeepsfor

REGULATORY INFORMATION
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battery.
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.
RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
WARNING!Readthisinformationbeforeusing
theradio.InAugust1996theFederalCommunications
Commission(FCC)oftheUnitedStateswithitsactionin
ReportandOrderFCC
96-326adoptedanupdatedsafetystandardforhuman
exposuretoradiofrequency
electromagneticenergyemittedbyFCCregulated
transmitters.
Thoseguidelinesareconsistentwiththesafetystandard
previouslysetbybothU.S.and
internationalstandardsbodies.Thedesignoftheradio
complieswiththeFCCguidelinesandthese
internationalstandards.
Neverallowchildrentooperatetheradiowithoutadult
supervisionandtheknowledgeofthe
followingguidelines.
WARNING!Itisuptotheusertoproperlyoperatethis
radiotransmittertoinsuresafeoperation.Pleaseadhere
tothefollowing:
Useonlythesuppliedoranapprovedantenna.
Unauthorizedantennas,modifications,or
attachmentscouldimpaircallquality,damagetheradio,
orresultinviolationofFCCregulations.
Donotusetheradiowithadamagedantenna.
Ifadamagedantennacomesintocontactwiththeskin,
aminorburnmayresult.Pleasecontactyourlocal
dealerforareplacementantenna.
Hand-held Operation (Held-to-Face)
Thisdevicewasevaluatedfortypicalhand-held(held-to-
face)operationswitha1inchspacingfromthefrontof
theradio.Forhand-heldoperation,theradioshouldbe
held1inchfromtheuser'sfaceinordertocomplywith
FCCRFexposurerequirements.
FormoreinformationaboutRFexposure,please
visittheFCCwebsiteatwww.fcc.gov.
Body-worn Operation
Thisdevicewasevaluatedforbody-wornoperations
withthesuppliedbelt-clipaccessory.(Allnecessary
accessoriesareincludedinthepackage;anyadditional
oroptionalaccessoriesarenotrequiredforcompliance
withtheguidelines.)Thirdpartyaccessories(unless
approvedbythemanufacturer)shouldbeavoidedas
thesemightnotcomplywithFCCRFexposure
