FCC Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct. The interference by one or more of the following measures: ● Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. ● Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
● Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Note:” Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.” Compliance with RF Exposure Standards Hytera’s 2-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines: • United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§ 1.1307, 1.1310 and 2.1093 • American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992 • Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures. Guidelines: • Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device. • User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users. • Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met. Operating Instructions: • Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50 % of the time, or less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance). • Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of face with the microphone (and the other
parts of the radio, including the antenna) at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from the nose. Keeping the radio at the proper distance is important because RF exposures decrease with distance from the antenna. Antenna should be kept away from eyes. • When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Hytera’s approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Using approved body-worn accessories is important because the use of Hytera’s or other manufacturer’s non-approved accessories may result in exposure levels, which exceed the FCC’s occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits. • If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using the radio in the intended use position in front of the face, then ensure the antenna and the radio are kept at least 2.5 cm (one inch) from the body when transmitting. Keeping the radio at the proper distance is important because RF exposures decrease with increasing distance from the antenna. • Use only manufacturer’s name approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and accessories. Use of non-manufacturer-name approved antennas, batteries, and accessories may exceed the FCC RF exposure guidelines. •For a list of Hytera’s approved accessories (see the user manual), or (visit the following website which lists approved accessories: www.hytera.cn) • For a list of Hytera’s approved accessories (see the user manual), or (visit the following website which lists approved accessories: www.hytera.cn EU Regulatory Conformance As certified by the qualified laboratory, the product is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the Directive 1999/5/EC.

Adjusting the VOX Gain Level Go to “Menu -> Settings -> Radio Set -> VOX -> Gain Level” to adjust the transmission sensitivity. Higher gain level can bring lower sensitivity and thus larger voice volume. Note Please adjust the VOX Gain Level properly to avoid unexpected VOX triggering due to high sensitivity or triggering failure due to low sensitivity.
25 8. Troubleshooting Phenomena Analysis Solution The radio cannot be powered on. The battery may be improperly installed. Remove the battery and reattach it. The battery power may run out. Recharge or replace the battery. The battery may suffer from poor contact caused by dirtied or damaged battery contacts. Clean the battery contacts. If the problem cannot be solved, contact your dealer or authorized service center for inspection and repair. During receiving, the voice is weak, discontinuous or totally inactive. The battery voltage may be low. Recharge or replace the battery. The volume level may be low. Increase the volume by pressing the Volume Up/Right key. The speaker may be blocked or damaged. Clean the surface of the speaker. If the problem cannot be solved, contact your dealer or authorized service center for inspection and repair. You cannot communicate with other members. The frequency or signaling may be inconsistent with that of other members. Set your TX/RX frequency and signaling to the same as that of other members. The channel type (digital and analog) may be set inconsistently. Make sure all members are on the same digital/analog channel. You may be too far away from the group members.
