PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The COMMUNICATOR is the newest generation in personal two-way
communications. The COMMUNICATOR operates in a license-free
radio band on the FRS channels 8 - 14 (no FCC license is needed
for its operation), and on licensed GMRS/FRS channels 1 - 7, and
GMRS channels 15 - 22 (see page 22 regarding licensing
information).
The COMMUNICATOR is a lightweight, compact two-way
communication device that can be used to communicate with family
or friends at parks, shopping malls, sporting events, concerts -- any
indoor or outdoor activity!
The COMMUNICATOR is compatible with other brands utilizing the
same FRS frequency band (operating in the frequency range from
462.5625 MHz to 467.7125 MHz) or same GMRS frequency band
(operating in 462.5750 MHz to 462.7250 MHz).
The COMMUNICATOR has 22 CHANNELS, including 7 FRS
channels, 7 GMRS/FRS channels, and 8 GMRS channels (For

Wearing the radio close to the body, such as in
a pocket or on a belt, will decrease range;
change the location of the radio.
If you are transmitting, speak in a normal
tone of voice, 2 to 3 inches away from the
MICROPHONE.
If you are receiving, lower the volume to a
comfortable level.
Radios too close. Radios must be at least 5 feet
apart; increase your distance.
Radios too far apart. Obstacles interfere with
transmission. Talk range is from 2 to 7 miles in
clear unobstructed conditions.
17
Damaged ANTENNA:
Do not use any COMMUNICATOR that has a damaged ANTENNA. If a
damaged ANTENNA comes in contact with the skin, a minor burn may
result.
Batteries:
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as
burns if conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains
touches exposed terminals. The 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.
WARNING !
For Vehicles with an Air Bag:
Do not place your COMMUNICATOR in the area over an air bag or in
the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a
COMMUNICATOR is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air
bag inflates, the COMMUNICATOR may be propelled with great force
and cause serious injury to the occupants of vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres:
Turn your COMMUNICATOR OFF when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere, unless it is a type specifically qualified for such
use (for example, Factory Mutual Approved). Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Batteries:
Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and
cause an explosion.
Blasting Caps and Areas:
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your
COMMUNICATOR OFF near electrical blasting caps or in a “blasting
area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and
instructions.
NOTE: Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but
not always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as below
deck 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.
18
Care and Maintenance

operating procedures should be observed:
For Portable Two-way Communicators:
● When transmitting with a COMMUNICATOR, hold the COMMUNICATOR
in a vertical position with its MICROPHONE 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0
cm) away from your mouth. Keep the ANTENNA at least 2 inches (5
cm) from your head and body.
● If you wear a COMMUNICATOR on your body, ensure that the
ANTENNA is at least two inches (5 cm) from your body when
transmitting.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility:
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise
configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
● Turn your unit OFF in any facilities where posted notices instruct you
to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment
that is sensitive to external RF energy.
● Turn your unit OFF when on board an aircraft when instructed to do
so. Any use of the unit must be in accordance with airline regulations

BellSouth Products warrants the equipment against defects in material
and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the original date of
purchase. This warranty is in lieu of all other express warranties. This
warranty begins when you purchase the COMMUNICATOR unit and
continues for one (1) year unless you sell or rent the unit, in which case
the warranty stops.
BellSouth Products disclaims any implied warranty, including the
warranty of merchantability and the warranty of fitness for a particular
purpose, as of the date of one year from your original purchase of the
COMMUNICATOR unit. BellSouth Products assumes no responsibility
for any special, incidental, or consequential damages.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have other
rights which vary from state to state. Some states do not allow the
exclusion or limitations of special, incidental or consequential damages
or limitations on how long a warranty lasts, so the above exclusion
or limitation may not apply to you.
Warranty Service Not Provided
This warranty does not cover damage resulting from accident, misuse,
abuse, improper installation or operation, lack of reasonable care,
unauthorized modification, or the affixing of any attachment not provided
by BellSouth Products with the COMMUNICATOR unit, and/or loss of
parts. This warranty is voided in the event any unauthorized person
opens, alters, or repairs the unit.
All BellSouth equipment being returned for repair must be suitably
packaged.
BellSouth Products does not warrant that this equipment is compatible
with the type of accessory of any particular communicator company or
the services provided by it.
