3User Safety Information READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION BEFORE USING YOUR QUANTUN PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIO. Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards Your Quantun two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty cycles of up to 50% talk-50% listen and should be used for occupational use only. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode. Note: The approved batteries supplied with this radio are rated for a 5-5-90 duty cycle (5% talk-5% listen-90% standby), even though this radio complies with the FCC occupational RF exposure limits at duty cycles of up to 50% talk.

10Getting Started Battery Safety Precautions The battery is not fully charged at the factory. It is recommended to charge the new battery for 5 hours before using it. Also, batteries that may have set longer than 2 months since the last charge should be charged before using it. The battery capacity will be optimum after being charged/discharged two or three times. When the battery’s charge is depleted, charge the battery or replace the battery with a new one. Caution: 1. Do not short circuit the battery terminals or discard the battery in fire. Never attempt to disassemble the battery. 2. Never charge a battery that is wet. Please dry it with soft cloth prior to charge. 3. Do not return fully charged batteries to the charger for an “extra boost”. This action will significantly reduce battery life. 4. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations (e.g. recycling). Do not dispose as household waste. Battery Tips 1. The battery should be charged at 5 ~ 40 , temperature ou℃℃ t of this range could result the battery not fully charged. 2. When charging a battery attached to a radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge. 3. Do not cut off the power supply or remove the battery when charging a battery. 4. The battery will eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk-time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal performance, it is time to buy a new battery. To Prolong Battery Life  Battery performance will be greatly decreased at a temperature -20 below.℃ Please use back-up battery in cold weather. The cold battery unable to work in this situation may work under room temperature, so keep it for later use.  The dust on the battery contact may affect battery life. Please use clean dry cloth to wipe it before the attaching the battery to the radio. Battery Storage
111. Considering the battery's self-discharge characteristics, fully charge the battery prior to long time storage, to avoid battery damage due to over-discharge. 2. Recharge the battery after 6 months’ storage, to avoid reducing battery capacity due to over-discharge. 3. Notice the ambient humidity and temperature for the battery storage. Please store it in cool dry area under room temperature, to reduce self-discharge capacity. Charging the Battery When the radio top LED flashes red and three beeps sound every 10 seconds indicating the battery power runs low, please recharge the battery. You are recommended to use Quantun authorized charger. Charger LED will indicate the charging status. Please follow these steps to charge your radio using the switching power adapter or desktop charger: 12332 1. Plug the AC connector of the switching power adapter into the AC outlet socket. 2. Plug the DC connector of the switching power adapter into the DC jack of the charger. 3. Place the radio with the battery attached or the battery alone in the charger. 4. The charging process initiates when LED glows red, and is completed when LED glows green. Note: Make sure the radio is attached with a battery before charging, and is powered off during charging.
