Read this information before using the radio. In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters.Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of the radio complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.Never allow children to operate the radio without adult supervision and the knowledge of the following guidelines.WARNING! It is up to the user to properly operate this radio transmitter to insure safe operation. Please adhere to the following:Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the radio, or result in violation of FCC regulations.Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna.Hand-held Operation (Held-to-Face)This device was evaluated for typical hand-held(held-to-face) operations with a 1 inch spacing fromthe front of the radio. For hand-held operation, theradio should be held 1 inch from the user's face inorder to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements.Body-worn OperationThis device was evaluated for body-worn operations with the supplied belt-clip accessory. In order to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements for body-worn operations, the radio should only be worn with the supplied belt-clip accessory or accessory which does not contain metallic components and provides a minimum of 3/5 inch separation distance between the back side of the radio and the user's body.For more information about RF exposure, pleasevisit the FCC web site at www.fcc.gov.RF EXPOSURE INFORMATIONThis device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.Important: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this device. Your radio is set up to transmit a regulated signal on an assigned frequency. It is against the law to alter or adjust the settings inside the radio to exceed those limitations. Any adjustments to your radio must be made by qualified technicians.To be safe and sure:• Never open your radio’s case.• Never change or replace anything in your radio except the batteries.Your radio might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To determine whether your radio is causing the interference, turn it off. If the interference goes away, your radio is causing it. Try to eliminate the interference by moving your radio away from the receiver. If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using the radio.Hazardous Environments: Do not operate the radio in hazardous environments. Explosion or fire may result. Do not operate the radio near unshielded electrical blasting caps.Under certain conditions, radios can interfere with blasting operations and may cause an explosion. Turn your radio OFF to prevent accidental transmission when in a blasting area or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio." Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.Care and Safety: To clean the radio, use a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use cleaners or solvents because they can harm the body of the unit and leak inside, causing permanent damage. Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the battery contacts.
