manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in
obtaining this information.
Safety and General Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations regarding the use of radios in the
area where you drive, and always obey them. If you do use your
radio while driving, please:
•
•
•
Give full attention to driving and to the road.
Use hands-free operation, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
The use of a two-way radio while engaged in activities requiring
concentration may cause distraction or otherwise impair your
ability to safely participate in such activities. Always use technology
safely.
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 force. 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.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Only radio types that are especially qualified
should be used 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.

Special Features
Emergency Alert Mode
The Emergency Alert function can be used to signal others in your
group of your need for immediate help. All radios in your group using
the same channel and interference eliminator code can receive the
message. EM1000 series radios will automatically advance the
speaker volume to a loud setting (the maximum rated output level),
regardless of the volume control position. A unique alert tone will be
emitted from the receiving radios and heard by your group. The
alert tone is also emitted from your own radio speaker to attract
attention in your vicinity. Any spoken words or incidental sounds will
be transmitted to others. EM1000 series radios will be operating in
an automatic “hands free” emergency transmission control mode
for a total of 30 seconds. For the duration of the emergency alert,
your radio will be locked into a transmitting mode and the other
EM1000 radios in your group will be locked into a receiving mode to
help ensure the receipt of your emergency message.
1. Press and hold the Emergency Alert button for 3 seconds.
2. An alert signal will be transmitted for 8 seconds to alert other
receivers.
3. Your voice or incidental sounds will be transmitted for 22
seconds. There is no need to continue to hold the Emergency
Alert button or use the PTT button for your message to be
transmitted.
4. After 30 seconds your radio will return to normal two-way mode.
EM1000 series radios will automatically return to the initial
volume setting as controlled by the volume knob. Both the
sender and the receiver will again be able to talk to each other
using the PTT or VOX methods of transmission control.

Scanning Channels
Use scan to search the 22 channels for transmissions from
unknown parties, to find someone in your group who has
accidentally changed channels, or to quickly find unused channels
for your own use.
There is a priority feature and 2 modes of scanning ( basic and
advanced ) to make your search more effective. The basic scan
mode uses the channel and code combinations for each of the 22
channels as you have set them ( or with the default code value of
1). The “Advanced Scan” mode will scan all channels for any and
all codes, detect any code in use, and use that code value
temporarily for that channel.
Priority is given to the “home channel,” that is, the channel (and
Interference Eliminator Code) your radio was set to when you start
the scan. This means the initial channel (and code setting) is scanned
more often than the other 21 channels, and your radio will respond
quickly to any activity occurring on the home channel as a priority.
To start Scanning:
1. Briefly press the
key. The scan
will appear in the
display, and the radio will begin to scroll through the channel
and code combinations.
2. When the radio detects channel activity matching the channel
and code combination, it stops scrolling and you can hear the

emergency weather broadcasts that interrupt routine broadcasts.

Both NOAA and Environment Canada have transmitters located
throughout the United States and Canada, respectively. These
transmitters broadcast watches, forecasts, and other information 24
hours a day.
Note: NOAA weather radio stations are assigned to cover specific
areas and service may be limited. Please check with your local
weather office for frequency and details, or visit
www.weather.gov/nwr in the US or

appropriate transmitter for your area.
