CAUTIONS
GMRS LICENSE
USE OF THIS RADIO WITHIN THE UNITED STATES REQUIRES AN
FCC GMRS LICENSE. AN INDIVIDUAL 18 YEARS OF AGE OR
OLDER, WHO IS NOT A REPRESENTATIVE OF A FOREIGN
GOVERNMENT IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR A GMRS SYSTEM
LICENSE. YOU WILL NEED TWO FORMS FROM THE FCC:
FCC FORM 159 AND FCC FORM 605 MAIN FORM AND
SCHEDULE F. YOU CAN FIND THE FORMS ONLINE AT
HTTP://WWW.FCC.GOV/FORMPAGE.HTML, OR CALL 1-800-418-3676.
NEVER HOLD THE TRANSCEIVER SO THAT THE
ANTENNA IS VERY CLOSE TO, OR TOUCHING EXPOSED
PARTS OF THE BODY WHILE TRANSMITTING. THE
TRANSCEIVER WILL PERFORM BEST IF THE MICRO
PHONE IS 2.5-5CM (1 to 2 INCHES) AWAY FROM THE
MOUTH AND THE TRANSCEIVER IS VERTICAL.
This handheld radio has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines when used with the TTI or authorized OEM
dealer’s accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use
of other accessories may not comply with FCC RF exposure
guideline.
DO NOT push the PTT button when not actually trying to transmit.
WARNING:
Changes and Modifications not expressly approved by
Conair Consumer Electronics could void user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
NOTE:
Please keep all packaging material for at least 90 days, in case
you need to return this product to your place of purchase or to Conair
Corporation. If metal from antenna becomes exposed, do not use unit.
Contact with exposed metal antenna can cause burns.

Safety Training Information
Your radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode.
This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only”,
meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by indi-
viduals aware of the hazards, and ways to minimize such hazards.
This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an
uncontrolled environment.
This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for
“Occupational Use Only”. In addition, the radio complies with the following
Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic
energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:
FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating
Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard
for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3KHz to 300 GHz.
American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE
Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially
Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields-RF and Microwave.
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is
within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always
adhere to the following guidelines:
DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as
this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed
FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied
with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically
authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio.
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time
(“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can
cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
The radio is transmitting when the “TX indicator” lights red. You
can cause the radio to transmit by pressing “PTT” switch.
ALWAYS use authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt
clips, speaker/mic, etc). Use of unauthorized accessories can
4
HUM1200 2/11/04 8:27 PM Page 4
cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5cm (1inch) away from the
body when transmitting, and only use the belt-clips when attaching
the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements are not exceeded. To provide the recipients of your
transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5cm
(2 inches) from mouth, slightly away from mouth, and slightly off to
one side.
The information listed above provides the user with the information
needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to
assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, your radio generates RF energy that can possibly
cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interfer-
ence, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT
operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radia-
tion, such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.

If nothing is transmitted or received within 10 seconds, the unit will
automatically switch to Battery Save Mode.
Low Battery Indicator
When the batteries are low and need to be replaced or recharged, the
low battery icon ( ) will display and transmission will be disabled.
If using standard batteries, replace them. If using rechargeable batteries,
recharge them.
Note: When you install the batteries, be sure to follow the polarity dia-
gram inside battery compartment.
External Microphone/Speaker
Your HUM1200 radio has an external microphone jack that enables you to
connect an external microphone in order to free your hands for other tasks.
Simply raise the rubber flap and insert the microphone plug into the
microphone jack on the top of the radio.
Notes for Better Communication
1. Your HUM1200 radio has been designed to maximize performance
and improve transmission range in the field. To avoid interference, it
is recommended that you do not use the unit closer than 5 feet from
another unit.
2. For better transmission results, keep your mouth about 2-3 inches
from the microphone and speak slowly in a normal voice.
32
HUM1200 2/11/04 8:27 PM Page 32
3. If you wear the radio on your body, ensure that the Antenna is at least
one inch (2.5cm) from your body when transmitting.
4. Reverse polarity (+/-) may cause serious damage to the unit. Do not
reverse the polarity (+/-) of the batteries in the battery compartment.
Special Warning
1. Do not operate the transceiver unless you are licensed to do so.
2. Avoid exposing the transceiver to water or extreme temperatures.
3. Do not attempt to modify or in any way increase the output of this
transceiver. Its output is designed to meet the legal limits set by the FCC.
4. Do not use this device or change the batteries in a potentially explosive
atmosphere, since sparks in such areas could result in an explosion.
5. Turn your transceiver off whenever posted notices restrict the use of
radios or cellular phones. Facilities such as hospitals may use equip-
ment that is sensitive to RF energy.
6. Remove the batteries from the transceiver if you do not expect to use
the batteries for long periods. This will eliminate the possibility of
chemicals leaking from the batteries and corroding the transceiver.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents have the
option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was pur-
chased or (B) to another retail store which sells Conair Consumer Electronics prod-
ucts of the same type. The retail store shall then decide to either repair the product,
refer the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the product, or refund
the purchase price less the amount directly attributable to the consumer’s prior
usage of the product. If either of the above two options does not result in the
appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer may then take the product to an
independent repair facility if service or repair can be economically accomplished.
Conair Consumer Electronics and not the consumer will be responsible for the rea-
sonable cost of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming
products under warranty.
California residents may also, according to their preference, return nonconforming
products directly to Conair Consumer Electronics for repair or, if necessary,
replacement, by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 1-888-875-8658.
Conair Consumer Electronics will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replace-
ment, and shipping and handling of such nonconforming products under Warranty.
