2. Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, or has been dropped or damaged
in any way.
3. Do not disassemble the charger if it has received a sharp blow, or has been dropped or
damaged in any way.
4. Never alter the AC cord or plug provided with the unit. If the plug will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. An improper condition can result
in a risk of electric shock.
5. To reduce the risk of damage to the cord or plug, pull the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger from the AC receptacle.
6. To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting
any maintenance or cleaning.
7. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by TEKK may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock, or personal injury.
8. Make sure the cord is located so it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or subjected to
damage or stress.
9. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper
extension cord could result in a risk of fire and/or electric shock. If an extension cord must
be used, make sure that:
•The pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those
on the plug of the charger.
•The extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
•The cord size is 18 AWG for lengths up to 100 feet, and 16 AWG for lengths up to
150feet.
10. Do not replace charger's power cord. If the power cord damages, you must stop using
charger immediately.

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
XM-700 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, 2.1091 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
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment .This equipment should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 2.5cm between the radiator & your body.This transmitter must not
be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter
Your Tekk International Inc. 2-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a
number of national and international standards and guidelines (listed below) for human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE
and ICNIRP exposure limits for general/uncontrolled RF exposure environment at
operating duty factors of up to 50% transmitting and is authorized by the FCC 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 factor (5%
talk-5% listen - 90% standby), even though this radio complies with the FCC occupational
RF exposure limits and may operate at duty factors of up to 50% talk.
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 Tekk International Inc. approved
clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Using approved body-worn
accessories is important because the use of Tekk International Inc. or other
manufacturer’s non-approved accessories may result in exposure levels, which exceed
the FCC’s general/uncontrolled 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 Tekk International Inc. 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.
