SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
Important Information on Safe and Efficient Operation
Read This Information Before Using Your Radio.
The information provided in this document supersedes the
general safety information contained in user guides
published before.
Transmit and Receive Procedure
Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver .To
control your exposure and ensures compliance with the
occupational/controlled environment exposure limits, always
adhere to the following procedure:
ƹTransmit no more than 50% of the time,
ƹTo transmit, press the Push to Talk (PTT) button.
ƹTo receive calls, release the PTT button.
Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because
the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only
when transmitting (in terms of measuring standards
compliance) .

electromagnetic interference (EM) if inadequately shielded,
designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic
compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and /or compatibility
conflicts, turn off your radio in any facility where posted
notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external
RF energy.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when on board
an aircraft .Any use of a radio must be in accordance with
applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends
that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be
maintained between a handheld wireless radio and

4
pacemaker .These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by and recommendations of the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
ƹALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches (15cm)from
their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
ƹNot carry the radio in the breast pocket.
ƹUse the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.
ƹTurn the radio OFF immediately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to
consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from RF energy. You physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.

5
Safety and General Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the
area where you drive .Always obey them. When using your
radio while driving, please:
ƹGive full attention to driving and to the road,
ƹUse hands-free operation, if available.
ƹPull off the road and park before making or answering a call
if driving conditions so require.

Operational Warnings
ƹFor Vehicles with an Air Bag
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in
the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great forces. If
a portable radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and
the air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force
and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
ƹPotentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially
qualified for use in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe”. Do not
remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a
potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmosphere referred
above include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel
or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal
powders, and any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine .Areas with potentially
explosive atmosphere are often but not always posted.
ƹBlasting caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off
your radio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a
blasting area, or in area posted;”Turn off two-way radio. Obey
all signs and instructions.
Warnings

Operational Cautions
Antenna
Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna.
If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a
minor burn can result.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and /or bodily injury
such as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys,
or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The
conductive material may complete an electrical circle (short
circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any
charge battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket,
purse, or other container with meal objects.
