Disposal
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive aims to minimise
any adverse impact of electronic equipment on the environment, both during
the product lifetime and when it becomes waste. Within the European Union this
legislation is mandated by Directive 2012/19/EU, and there is similar legislation
in most other continents. The directive applies to all electronic products such as
IT, household appliances, portable electronics etc., and imposes requirements
to collect, treat, recover and recycle each product at its end of life. Electronic
end-user products must also carry a WEEE label (as below) and recovery and
recycling information has to be provided to the recycler.
This product contains traces of lithium in the battery pack. In addition it may
contain lead and brominated ame retardants (BFRs), both in the housing material
and circuit boards. In keeping with the directive,
Thrane & Thrane A/S strongly recommends that this product and its battery pack
be disposed of in a sensible and considerate manner. For example, do not simply
discard the product in the domestic waste. Instead take it to a civil recycling
facility, or contact Thrane & Thrane A/S for advice.
Attention

Be very careful when handling the Lithium batteries.
With correct use they are safe but any misuse might cause
dangerous situations.
Do not short circuit the battery terminals, or expose the
transceiver and the batteries to extreme temperature or fire.
Beware of RF exposure. Read section RF exposure and safety on
page iii, Training Requirement on page iii and Operating
instruction on page iv before using this radio.
Do not submerge the transceiver more than 1 m for 30 minutes.
Keep the transceiver at least 0.3 m away from the magnetic
compass.
1824
![](/img.php?id=3906706&img=bgf.png)
iii
RF exposure and safety
The SAILOR 3965 ATEX UHF Fire is designed for occupational use only and is also
classified as such. It must be operated by licensed personnel only and thus NOT
intended for use in an uncontrolled environment by general public.
The SAILOR 3965 ATEX UHF Firefighter must only be used in the course of
employment by individuals aware of the radiation hazards as well as the way to
minimize those.
This radio complies with the limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure
environment at operating duty factors of up to 50% transmitting and is authorized
for occupational use only.
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled
environment exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures.
• 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.
The SAILOR 3965 ATEX UHF Firefighter complies with the limits for
occupational/controlled exposure in the following SAR specifications:
• IEEE 1528-2013
• FCC CFR 47 § 2.1093
• RSS-102 Issue 5
Training Requirement
Operating personnel shall have completed an RF safety program including specific
training and education regarding RF radiation hazards in the use of the
equipment.
Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy
exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with
established RF exposure limits.
https://www.fcc.gov/engineering-technology/electromagnetic-compatibility-
division/radio-frequency-safety/faq/rf-safety
http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/ceb-bhst.nsf/eng/h_tt00084.html
1824
iv
Operating instruction
Follow these general rules of operation for safe operation and to reduce the RF
exposed energy:
• Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time.
• 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 head. Keeping the radio at the proper distance is important
because RF exposures decrease with distance from the antenna.
• When worn on the body, always place the radio with an approved belt clip or
case. Using approved body-worn accessories is important because the use of
other manufacturer’s non-approved accessories may result in exposure levels,
which exceed the occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits.
• 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 exposure guidelines.
• For best radio performance, hold the radio vertically and 5 cm away from the
head when talking into the microphone.
Channel programming
SAILOR 3965 ATEX UHF Fire is from manufacturer programmed with an approved
set of 25 kHz and 12.5 kHz channels according to ITU-R M.1174-3 specifying the

Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System
Selective squelch opening by sub-tone detection (CTCSS) can be enabled,
using the configuration mode (see CTCSS on page 23). Please note that if
the radio is operating with CTCSS on a channel, and a carrier is received,
it may not be recognized in the loud speaker if the matching sub-tone is
not detected. For this reason, be very careful not to use CTCSS
programmed channels in emergency situations. For the same reason
transmitting is prohibited (reporting "BUSY") if a (silent) carrier
containing any sub-tone is active on the channel while pressing PTT.
Channels programmed with CTCSS will have a clear identification in the
service field, e.g. "CTCSS 22", while selected. Not all channels are allowed
for CTCSS use.
For maritime channels CTCSS is automatically disabled when
• Product is turned off
• A new channel is selected
For private channels, the feature will remain until manually removed.
1616
![](/img.php?id=3906706&img=bg1e.png)
Operation
12
Scrambler
On channels where it is allowed, you can set up voice scrambling, using
configuration mode (see SCRM on page 24).
Please note that if the radio is operating with scrambling on a channel, it
is impossible to communicate with other radios that are not programmed
with the same scrambler code. For this reason, be very careful not to use
scrambled channels in emergency situations. Scrambled channels will
have a clear identification in the service field, e.g. "SCRM 3", while
selected. Not all regions allow the use of voice scrambling.
For maritime channels scrambling is automatically disabled when
• Product is turned off
• A new channel is selected
For private channels, scrambling will remain until manually removed.
Narrow band operation
The radio is prepared for narrow band operation. (see BAND on page 24).
Narrow band configuration is indicated with an “n” next to the channel
designator.
Note Prior to any initiation of scrambling, the operator must always
identify the calling station in clear voice (unscrambled) on that
channel. Use of scrambling may also be restricted by national
laws.

To enable “ALIVE” function do as follows:
1. Select the channel where ALIVE function is desired to be transmitted.
2. Press and hold the Hi/Lo until you see “ALIVE ON” on the radio
display. It takes approx. a second.
3. Now “ALIVE” is transmitted by a "beep" on the working channel, with
approx. 4-second intervals.
To deactivate “ALIVE” function do as follows:
• Press and hold the Hi/Lo pressed until “ALIVE ON” no longer appears
on the radio display. It takes approx. a second.
“ALIVE” function is also deactivated when

• Squelch is open.
Refer to ALIVE on page 24
Channel read-out
In some use cases the display is not directly visible to the user (e.g. if the
radio is used in a belt or pocket). Consequently, when changing to a new
channel (using the Up and Down buttons) the user cannot positively
know which channel is now the current one.
The channel read-out feature, however, enables users to get audible
feedback on channel name in a connected headset (or speaker-mike)
1616
![](/img.php?id=3906706&img=bg20.png)
Operation
14
upon channel change (the name of the new channel will be announced
in the headset).
Please note that this feature is disabled as default and can be enabled
either through the Portable Radio Service Tool or the menu settings in
the radio (see chapter 4 for more information).
Please also note that this feature requires external equipment with a
speaker, hence, although the feature is enabled the new channel will not
be announced in the speaker of the radio.
Please also note that if the Monitor function is enabled, the new channel
will not be announced in the speaker of the radio or the head-set
although the channel read-out feature is enabled and a head-set is
connected.

Impact on radio operation
The external equipment can have a built-in PTT button, speaker and
microphone. Thus a connection has per default the following impact on
the radio operation:
• If a speaker or earpiece is built into the detected external equipment,
the sound device of the external equipment is used, and the internal
radio speaker is disabled.
• The external accessory microphone is selected as audio input device,
when the external PTT button is pressed. The transceiver microphone
is used as audio input device when the transceiver PTT button is
pressed.
• This behaviour can be changed in the service tool.

Battery life guidelines
Battery (rechargeable)
During daily use, always keep the battery fully charged and away from
hot areas.
Keep the battery terminals dry and clean.
Never discharge beyond the specifications of the battery.
Operation/Standby time depends on usage. Generally, the more the radio
is transmitting, the faster it will drain the battery. Also, the “Hi” power
setting will drain the battery faster than the “Lo” setting.
Approximate figures are:
• A battery can be stored for 4 to 6 month at 25°C if charged to 40%.
• The battery will normally last for 5 to 9 hours of use on a fully
charged battery.
Note New batteries should be placed in the charger CH3505, CH3507
or CH3508 for minimum 12 hours first time.
