FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! 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 96326 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.
Body-worn Operation This device was tested for typical bodyworn operations using the supplied belt-clip. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, body-worn operations
are restricted to the supplied belt-clip. For hand-held operation,
the radio should be held 1 inch from the user’s face. The use of
accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and should be avoided.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC
website at www.fcc.gov

key pressed down while turning on the radio. In any of these cases, the radio will emit
an error tone and the current channel number will flash along with the Transmitting text.
If the low battery occurs and the PTT is pressed, or anytime of a battery low condition
occurs, an error tone will sound (400Hz every 1 second) and the Battery Low message
will show on the bottom of the display. This indicates that the TX is disabled. After the
PTT key is released. The Battery Low message will disappear and be replaced by the
channel name. The Battery level icon will continue to blink until the radio either shuts
off or the radio is recharged. The only exception to this would be the battery low
condition can happen much more easily while transmitting. After the PTT is released,
the radio will check the battery voltage to determine if the radio is still in a low battery
condition, if not then the battery icon will not continue to blink.
*NOTE: The PTT key will not transmit during the Scan mode or during the Tri Watch
mode. When the PTT key is pressed, all scanning modes are immediately disabled
and the radio will start transmitting on the currently selected channel if there is carrier
on this channel. If a carrier is not present, the first press of the PTT key will only take
the radio out of the scan mode. The second press of the PTT key will activate transmit.
*NOTE: If the PTT key is pressed for 5 minutes, a timer will timeout causing the radio
to stop transmitting, an error tone will sound, the “Transmitting” text will blink, and an
error message will be displayed at the bottom of the screen, until the PTT key is
released. The PTT key may now be pressed to start transmit and restart the 5 minute
timeout timer. The following error screen will be displayed.
