1 INTRODUCTION
With this manual, you will quickly discover how easy it is to use the main functions of your
handheld terminal.
Before using the handheld terminal, read carefully this manual. In addition to the
instructions for how to use the handheld terminal, you will also find important
information on using it safely. Keep the manual for future reference. For any
additional information, consult your supplier.
Some functions described in this guide may depend on the configuration and options of the
handheld terminal, as well as the firmware version. Please, contact your service provider for
more detailed information about the available features of your handheld terminal.

2 SAFETY & WARNINGS
2.1 General
Do not use the terminal without the antenna. To guarantee the safety requirements,
always use antennas validated by UNIMO.
UNIMO has approved a range of accessories for the handheld terminal: antennas,
batteries, chargers, audio accessories, etc. These accessories have passed all
types of tests that ensure their suitability and safety for the use for which they are
intended. Use only UNIMO approved accessories.
For your safety, only allow UNIMO qualified staff to repair the terminal or its
accessories. If the installation or repair is not correct, it may be dangerous and may
void the guarantee of the terminal.
The handheld terminal is functional between -20ºC to +55ºC (-4ºF and +131ºF).
Unapproved modifications or changes to this equipment may cause harmful
interference unless the modifications are expressly approved by UNIMO. In this
case, the user could lose the authority to operate with this equipment.

2.2 Electromagnetic compatibility
The majority of electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference if they are
not adequately shielded, designed or configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
To avoid these compatibility conflicts, respect the current regulations of the area you
are in, and turn off the terminal whenever its use is prohibited, when it may cause
interference or be hazardous, for example, at hospitals or health care premises,
where equipment sensitive to external RF radiation may be being used.
Aircraft
Follow all existing restrictions, according to the regulations of the airlines or the
instructions of the crew
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend keeping a minimum safety distance of 15 cm
between a portable radio terminal and a pacemaker, to avoid possible interferences
with the latter. People with pacemakers should:
When switched on, always keep the terminal more than 15 cm away from the pacemaker.
Not carry the terminal in your breast pocket.
Use the terminal with the ear on t he opposite side to the pacemaker to minimize possible
interference.
Turn off the terminal immediately if, for any reason, you suspect it is causing interference.

USER GUIDE
7 / 29
Hearing aids or other medical devices
Some digital mobile devices may interfere with these appliances. If this interference
occurs, contact your service supplier or the manufacturer of the hearing aid or
medical device.
3 WARNINGS
Do not allow metallic objects contact or short-circuit the battery’s terminals. Avoid
placing it on metallic surfaces or putting it into a pocket, bag or recipient with metallic
elements.
The RF signals may affect the electronic systems of motor vehicles that are not well
installed or protected, for example, electronic injection systems, electronic anti-
locking brake systems (ABS), speed control systems or airbag systems. For further
information, verify these aspects of your vehicle, or equipment that has been added, with the
corresponding manufacturers.
Do not place the terminal in the area above the airbag or in the area where it would
inflate. Airbags inflate with great force and the terminal may be thrown, causing
serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially explosive environments
Disconnect the terminal when it is in an area where explosions may occur and obey
all signs and instructions.
The areas where explosions may occur are usually, but not always, marked. These areas

USER GUIDE
8 / 29
include fuel loading areas, such as ship decks, petrol stations, premises for storage and
transport of motor fuel or chemical products, vehicles that use liquid gas petroleum and areas
where the air contains chemical particles or elements, as grain, powder or metallic particles.
Sparks in these areas may cause explosions or fire, with the subsequent risk of injury or even
death.
Check the laws and r egulations about the use of mobile telephones and
radiotelephones in the area where you are driving and al ways respect them. While
driving, pay full attention, and always keep your hands free for operating the vehicle.
As measure of caution, whenever possible, park off the road before making or answering a
call.
Acoustic shock
The terminal has a hi gh power speaker for calls. Do not keep the terminal near to
your ear for calls, otherwise it may damage your ear.
Outdoor use
UNIMO guarantees that the equipment features an IP67 degree of protection when it
is completely sealed and has all the protective gaskets on the different connectors,
as it is first supplied by UNIMO. To comply with this degree of protection it is also necessary
that the battery is inserted in the equipment.
Use under severe conditions
Under aggressive environments (heavy rain, excess of humidity, chemical
substances, dusty environments,…) or if any of the terminal gaskets is taken off or
lost, additional protections are needed. In this case it is recommended to protect the terminal

USER GUIDE

with covers. To make this protection level is also necessary that the terminal will put your
battery and antenna.
Programming
The equipment must always be programmed using a programmer release
compatible with its firmware.

USER GUIDE
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled
environment exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines:
• 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), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button.
Transmitting 50 % of the time, or less, is important because this radio generates measurable
RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards
compliance).
• Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of face with the microphone (and the
other parts of the radio, including the antenna) at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from the
nose.
Keeping the radio at the proper distance is important because RF exposures decrease
with distance from the antenna. Antenna should be kept away from eyes.

USER GUIDE
• When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Hytera’s approved clip, holder,
holster, case, or body harness for this product. Using approved body-worn accessories is
important because the use of Hytera’s or other manufacturer’s non-approved accessories
may result in exposure levels, which exceed the FCC’s occupational/controlled
environment RF exposure limits.
• Use only manufacturer’s name approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries,
and accessories. Use of non-manufacturer-name approved antennas, batteries, and
accessories may exceed the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
• Use only manufacturer’s name approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries,
and accessories. Use of non-manufacturer-name approved antennas, batteries, and
accessories may exceed the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
