Important Information on Safe and Efficient Operation
Read This Information Before Using Your Radio
The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information
contained in user guides published prior to July 2000.
Transmit and Receive Procedure
Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. To control your exposure and
ensure compliance with the general population/uncontrolled environment exposure limits,
always adhere to the following procedure:
• Transmit no more than 50% of the time
• To transmit (talk), push the Talk button
• To receive calls, release the Talk button
Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio generates
measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring
standards compliance).

and Interference Eliminator Code, letting them know you want to talk to them. Those
radios can then receive and transmit until 30 seconds of inactivity occurs, which
resets the QuieT6000 function. While QuieT6000 is on, F is displayed. However,
during the 30 seconds of inactivity, F flashes.
Unique Situations
QuieT6000 can also keep your radio quiet when you are in a situation where noise
can be disruptive, such as when you are in a movie theater or out hunting. Set
QuieT6000 to either 1 or 2. Now when you receive a call from radio, your radio
vibrates while ^ displays on the screen. The ^ icon remains on the screen until you
press any button. Only then can you receive and transmit to those radios until
30 seconds of inactivity occurs and the QuieT6000 function resets.
