Please read this information before installing or using your UHF radio.
The operation of your UHF radio in Australia is subject to conditions in the following
Licence: In Australia the ACMA Radio communications (Citizen Band Radio Stations) and
in New Zealand by MED the General User Radio Licence for Citizen Band Radio.
Check the State and Federal laws and regulations regarding the use of two way radios in
the area where you drive, and always obey them.
When using the radio in a vehicle, do not place your radio in the area over an airbag, or
in the airbag deployment area. Airbags inate with great force, if a radio is placed in the
airbag deployment area and the air bag inates, it may be propelled with great force and
cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in
such areas could cause an explosion or re resulting in injury or even death.
NOTE: Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always clearly
marked. They include fueling areas such as below deck 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 of
your vehicle engine.
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations; turn your radio OFF near electrical
blasting caps, or in a “blasting area”, or in areas posted: “Turn off the two way radio.” Obey
all signs and instructions.
Your two-way radio complies with Australian Communications Authority Radio
Communications (Electromagnetic Radiation-Human Exposure) Standard, 2003. To
assure optimal radio performance and make sure human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set out in the above standards always
adhere to the following radio operating procedures.
Unauthorised antennas, modications, or attachments could damage the radio and violate
compliance. DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE.” Holding the antenna
reduces the effective range. DO NOT use the radio if the antenna is damaged.
If a damaged antenna makes contact with a persons skin, a minor burn may result.

Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI). To
avoid the possibility of electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conicts, turn off
the radio in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so such as health care
facilities.
Refer to aviation regulator & aircraft manufacturer prior to installing this unit into any aircraft
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends a minimum separation
of 15cm be maintained between a radio and pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by, and recommendations of, the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration. People with pacemakers should:
•ALWAYS keep the radio more than 15cm away from the pacemaker when the radio is
powered on.
•NOT carry the radio in the breast pocket (handheld models).
•Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the potential for interference.
•Turn the radio OFF immediately there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place.
Some 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.
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.
Keep the radio out of reach of babies and/or young children. Never use your radio outdoors
during a thunderstorm.

When installing your radio in your vehicle, check that during installation you do not
damage any wiring or vehicle components that may be hidden around the mounting
position. For optimum performance your radio needs to be installed correctly. If you are
unsure about how to install your radio, we suggest you have your radio professionally
installed by a UHF specialist or Auto electrician. When installing the radio, avoid mounting
it close to heaters or air conditioners.
Never press the PTT or CALL button before connecting the antenna to the radio.
Screw the mounting bracket and microphone bracket to rm surfaces.
To install the radio: 1. Fix the radio bracket in a suitable location.

ANTENNA INFORMATION
The antenna is of critical importance, to maximize your output power and receiver
sensitivity. A poorly installed, inferior quality antenna or one not designed for the correct
frequency band will give poor performance. You should only purchase an antenna
designed for the 477MHz frequency band.
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
1. Connect the antenna to the rear antenna socket using a PL259 coaxial connector.
2. To obtain maximum performance from the radio, select a high quality antenna and
mount it in a good location.
Never press the PTT or CALL button before connecting the antenna to the radio.
