Realtree 08-24-04.qxd 8/24/04 10:01 AM Page 9 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially qualified for use 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. Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fueling areas such as below decks 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 off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted. Blasting Caps and Areas To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions. Operational Cautions Antennas Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result. Safety and General Information Realtree 08-24-04.qxd 8/24/04 10:01 AM Page 10 8 Safety and General Information Batteries All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. Battery Charger Safety Instructions Save these Instructions 1. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow. 2. Do not operate or disassemble the charger if it has received a sharp blow, or has been dropped or damaged in any way. 3. Never alter the AC cord or plug provided with the unit. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. An improper condition can result in a risk of electric shock. 4. To reduce the risk of damage to the cord or plug, pull the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger from the AC receptacle. 5. To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. 6. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold with unit may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury. Realtree 08-24-04.qxd 8/24/04 10:01 AM Page 11 7. Make sure the cord is located so it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or subjected to damage or stress. 8. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and/or electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure that: u The pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those on the plug of the charger. u The extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. u The cord size is 18 AWG for lengths up to 100 feet, and 16 AWG for lengths up to 150 feet. 9. The supply cord of this charger cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged, call Customer Service at 1-800-638-5156 in USA or Canada.

The FCC requires that all operators using GMRS frequencies obtain a radio license before operating their equipment. To obtain the FCC forms, please request Form 605 and 159 , which includes all forms and instructions. If you wish to have the document faxed or mailed, or have questions, please use the following contact information. Faxed Mailed Questions Contact the Fax-OnCall the FCC forms Regarding FCC license Demand system at: hotline at: Contact the FCC at: 1-202-418-0177 1-800-418-FORM (1-800-418-3676) 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) Or: http://www.fcc.gov Changes or modifications not expressly approved may void the user’s authority granted by the FCC to operate this radio and should not be made. To comply with FCC requirements, transmitter adjustments should be made only by or under the supervision of a person certified as technically qualified to perform transmitter maintenance and repairs in the private land mobile and fixed services as certified by an organization representative of the user of those services. Replacement of any transmitter component (crystal, semiconductor, etc.) not authorized by the FCC equipment authorization for this radio could violate FCC rules.

With the back of the radio facing you, lift the battery latch up to release the battery cover and remove the cover. 2. Insert 3 AA Alkaline batteries as shown on the inside of the battery compartment. 3. Reposition the battery cover and press down to secure. Note: The RT210 model radio can use a NiMH rechargeable battery instead of 3 AA Alkaline batteries. Installing the NiMH Battery Pack 1. Follow step 1 above to remove the battery cover. 2. Remove the battery pack from the clear plastic bag. Do not disassemble or unwrap the battery pack. 3. Insert the NiMH battery pack so the metal contacts on the side of the battery are facing outward from the radio to connect with the contacts on the battery door. 4. Reposition the battery cover and press down to secure. Realtree 08-24-04.qxd 8/24/04 10:01 AM Page 15 Battery Meter The battery icon shows the battery charge level, from full to empty . When the battery is empty, the radio chirps periodically after releasing . The radio powers off when the voltage drops below a predetermined level to protect the rechargeable battery. Note: Remove the batteries before storing your radio for extended periods of time. Batteries corrode over time and may cause permanent damage to your radio. Using the Desk Stand Charger The desk stand charger provides drop-in charging convenience for NiMH batteries and can be placed on any flat surface, such as a desk or workbench. Charge the NiMH battery overnight (at least 16 hours) before using it for the first time. After the initial charge, an empty battery is fully charged within 14 hours. 1. Turn the radio off and remove the battery cover. 2. Remove the battery pack from the clear plastic bag. Do not disassemble or unwrap the battery pack. 3. Insert the NiMH battery pack so the metal contacts on the side of the battery are facing outward from the radio to connect with the contacts on the battery door. 4. Reposition the battery cover and press down to secure. 5. Plug the AC power supply into the plug on the desk stand. 6. Plug the AC power supply into a standard wall outlet. 7. With the radio facing forward, slide it into one of the charging pockets. Getting Started 13 Realtree 08-24-04.qxd 8/24/04 10:01 AM Page 16 14 Getting Started Notes The light on the charging base will glow continuously when radio/battery is inserted.
