FCC NOTICE
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Regulations. Operation is subject to the following
conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference.
• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Important: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by
XACT Communication could void your right to operate this unit. Your COMMUNICATOR
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 COMMUNICATOR to exceed those limitations. Any
adjustment to your COMMUNICATOR must be made by qualified technicians.
TO BE SAFE AND SURE
• Never open your COMMUNICATOR’s case.
• Never change or replace anything in your COMMUNICATOR except the battery.
Your COMMUNICATOR may interfere with TVs or radios, even when operating properly.
To determine whether your COMMUNICATOR is causing interference, simply turn it off. If
the interference ends, your COMMUNICATOR is causing it. Try to eliminate interference
by moving your COMMUNICATOR away from the receiver. If you cannot eliminate
interference completely, the FCC requires that you terminate COMMUNICATOR use.
Hazardous Environments: Do not operate the COMMUNICATOR in hazardous
environments explosion or fire may result. Do not operate the COMMUNICATOR near
unshielded electrical blasting caps. Under certain conditions, COMMUNICATORS can
interfere with blasting operations and may cause an explosion. Turn your
COMMUNICATOR to the OFF position to prevent accidental transmission when in a
blasting area or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radios." Construction crews often use
remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
CARE AND SAFETY
To clean your COMMUNICATOR, use a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use
cleaners or solvents; 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. Do not submerge the unit in
water. If the unit gets wet, turn it off and remove the battery immediately. Dry the BATTERY
