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. For Vehicles with an Air Bag Do not place your radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle. Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a type especially qualified for such use (for example, Factory Mutual Approved). Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in injury or even death. Safety Information and Warnings WARNING 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 radio OFF near electrical blasting caps or in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off the 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. Cleaning and Care To clean your radio, use a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use cleaners or solvent, which may cause damage that may not be covered by guarantee. 5 Getting Started Installation Removing the Belt Clip Pull the Belt Clip latch forward (away from the unit) While pulling the Belt Clip latch, push up the Belt Clip as shown in Figure1. Belt Clip latch Installing the Belt Clip Slide the Belt clip into the slot as shown in Figure2. A “click” indicates the Belt clip is locked into position. Installing the Batteries Figure 3 Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 4 Caution: O bserve the proper battery polarity orientation when installing batteries. Incorrect positioning can damage both the batteries and the unit. a. Slide down the Battery Compartment Cover. b. Install the rechargeable batteries by following the orientation as shown in Figure 3 (the arrow is showing and pointing upward.) c. Replace the Battery Compartment Cover. See Figure 4. 6 Getting Started Important Read these Safety Warnings before you charge the batteries. When placing the radio in the charger, use only the power supplies listed in the user instructions supplied with the unit. Don’t try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Make sure the battery compartment cover is securely locked in place when you are charging the batteries. Dispose of used batteries safely and in a way that will not harm the environment- never try to burn them or put them anywhere, they could get burnt or punctured. Don’t leave dead batteries in your radio. They might leak if you do. Charging the batteries Insert the small plug on the end of the mains adaptor into the Power-in connection jack at the back of the desktop charger. Plug the mains adaptor into a 240V AC, 50Hz main socket with the switch on the socket set to OFF. a. Switch ON the main socket. b. Place the radio in the charge cradle in an upright position The Charge LED indicators will light up. It takes about 10 hours to fully charge the batteries if they are completely run down. New batteries take up to 14 hours to fully charged. Switched Mains Power Outlet 7 Getting Started Battery meter The battery meter is located in the left corner of the LCD screen. It appears like a battery with three bars inside. These indicate the amount of power available. When the battery level reaches it minimum level, the unit will emit two beep tones and automatically it will power off. Your UHF2100 can detect the battery charge in 4 levels; Battery charge at high level. Battery charge at medium level. Battery charge at low level. At this level, the radio will emit a “beep” sound for every 10 seconds in standby mode. TIP: At this stage, you need to recharge the unit at once, otherwise the battery will run down totally. Battery charge at very low level. When the battery level reaches its minimum level, the unit will emit two beep tones and automatically turn off the power. Important: You need to charge the unit for 10-14 hours. CAUTION: R isk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. Battery life Your radio has a built in power saver to make the batteries last longer. But when you are not using the units, turn them OFF to conserve battery power. 8 Getting Started Operation Transmitting range The talk range depends on the environment and terrain. It will reach (up to about 10km) in wide open spaces, without obstructions such as hills or buildings. Don’t try to use two radio units which are less than 1.5m (5feet) apart. Otherwise, you may experience interference. Important safety warning: To reduce radio frequency exposure when you are using your units, hold the unit at least 5cm (2 inches) away from your face. Never use your radio outdoors during a thunderstorm. Don’t use the radio in the rain. If your radio gets wet, turn it off and remove the battery. Dry the battery compartment and leave the cover off for a few hours. Don’t use the unit until it is completely dry. Keep the radio out of reach of babies and young children. The operation of this radio in Australia and New Zealand is subject to conditions in the following licenses. In Australia the ACMA Radio communications (Citizen Band Radio Stations) In New Zealand the General User Radio License for Citizen Band Radio. 9 Oricom UHF2100 instructions Oricom UHF2100 instructions Antenna LCD Screen - Displays the current channel selection and other radio symbols.
