Warning: This manual contains important safety and operating
information.
Please read, understand, and follow the instructions in this
manual. Failure to do so could result in personal injury, death, and/
or damage to the radio, accesories and/or other property.
Transmit and Receive Procedure
The 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 receive calls, release the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button.
• To transmit (talk), press the PTT 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).
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
The Olympia Two-Way radio complies with the following RF energy
exposure standards and guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of
Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J.
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineer (IEEE) C95. 1-1992.
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999
Edition.
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) 1998.

The Emergency Alert feature can be used to signal members in
your group of your need for urgent help. R300 series radios will
operate in an automatic “hands-free” emergency control mode
for a total of 30 seconds after activating the Emergency Alert.
R300 series radios in your group will automatically advance the
speaker volume to the maximum setting and sound a warbling
alert tone for 8 seconds. The alert tone is emitted from your own
radio speaker and the receiving radios in your group. After the 8
second alert, any spoken words or incidental sounds at your end
will be transmitted to the group for 22 seconds. For the 30 second
duration of Emergency Alert mode, R300 series radio controls and
buttons will be locked to maximize reception of the emergency
message.
1. Press and hold the Emergency Alert button for 3 seconds.
2. Release the button after the LED Indicator glows red and the
alert tone begins to sound. There is no need to continue to hold
the Emergency Alert button or use PTT for your message to be
transmitted.
3. After the alert tone ends you may speak into the microphone. Your
voice or incidental sounds will be transmitted. The LED indicator
will continue to glow for the duration of the 22 second period.
4. After 30 seconds your radio speaker will emit a Talk
Confirmation Tone and the LED Indicator will extinguish.
Operation then returns to normal two-way mode.
Note: All Olympia R300 series radios are fully compatible with
the Emergency Alert feature. Radio brands other than Olympia
R300 series can receive the emergency alert signal, but may not
respond with adjusted volume settings, locked controls, or a
warbling alert tone. Users of other radio models set to the same
channel and code will hear a steady tone for 8 seconds followed
