BATTERY LIFE INDICATOR

The lithium-Ion battery of your transceiver is continually monitored

for your convenience and safety.

1. Turn the transceiver on by rotating the volume control in a

clockwise direction. A power on tone is generated after 1

second to indicate the transceiver has passed its

self-diagnostic test. During standby the LED indicator will

pulse amber every 3 seconds, to further verify its circuitry is

functioning correctly. Select the desired audio level by further

rotating the control clockwise. After power on, the transceiver

will always default to the last channel selected.

2. Turn the squelch control fully counter clockwise, then rotate

clockwise until the white noise stops. This condition is known as

the "squelch threshold" If the control is turned clockwise past

this point, weak signals may not be received.

No noise or signal is heard until a signal is received that

exceeds the squelch threshold.

3. Select the desired channel using the [UP/DOWN] buttons.

A full listing of channels can be found on page 22.

Sometimes, a slight adjustment of the squelch threshold is needed

as some channels have a higher noise level than others.

properly. For requirements in your area, check with the dealer

from whom you purchased your transceiver.

DO NOT OVERCHARGE

When using the CWC640 do not charge the transceiver for more

than 8 hours. Heat generated by overcharging can shorten battery

life and cause other battery pack component failures

DO NOT INCINERATE

Do not dispose of your CNB840E battery in a fire or incinerator.

The heat of fire may cause battery cells to explode and/or

release dangerous gases.

DO NOT SHORT BATTERY PACK TERMINALS

Shorting the terminals that power the transceiver can cause sparks,

severe over heating, burns, and battery cell damage.

If the short is of sufficient duration, it is possible to melt the battery

components. Do not place a loose battery pack on or near a

metal surface or objects such as paper clips, keys, tools etc.

When the battery pack is installed on the transceiver, the terminals

that transfer current to the transceiver are not exposed.

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

WARNING.

Your Entel 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 individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to

minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the "General Population" in

an uncontrolled environment.

Use only Entel approved accessories. Use of accessories other than those specified may

result in RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF exposure.

CAUTION.

To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable

limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:-

ඖ

DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damaged 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 antenna specifically authorized by

the manufacturer for use with this radio.

ඖ

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 the "PTT" switch.

ඖ

ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when

transmitting and only use approved accessories to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance

requirements are not exceeded. To provide the recipients of your transmission the best

sound quality, hold the transceiver at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your 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 ensure that this radio

operates within the FCC RF exposure limits.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

During transmissions, your Entel radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause

interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, 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 radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.

Occupational/Controlled Use

The radio transmitter is used in situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence

of their employment. These persons should be made fully aware of the potential for

exposure so they can exercise control over their exposure.

Changes or modifications to this device, not expressly Approved by Entel UK could

invalidate your authority to Operate this device under FCC regulations.
