Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on Ni-MH battery recycling in your area. (RBRC® is a registered trademark of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.)MARITIME RADIO SERVICES OPERATIONWarning! This transmitter will operate on channels/frequencies that have restricted use in the United States. The channel assignments include frequencies assigned for exclusive use of the U.S. Coast Guard, use in Canada, and use in international waters. Operation on these frequencies without proper authorization is strictly forbidden. See page 25 for tables of the available channels and their uses. If you are still not certain which channels to use, see the FCC maritime radio page at the FCC website (http://wireless.fcc.gov/marine/) or contact the FCC Call Center at 1-888-CALL-FCC. For individuals requiring a license, such as commercial users, you should obtain a license application from your nearest FCC eld ofce (for US users) or Industry Canada (for Canadian users).WARNING! Read this information before using the radio.
E-32 Uniden Atlantis 150 Owner’s ManualBASIC RADIO GUIDELINESYou should familiarize yourself with the rules on marine radios and be aware of which rules apply to your boat. Complete guidelines for all ship and marine radio types can be found at the US Coast Guard website under the topic Radio Info for Boaters (the direct link is: http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/marcomms/boater.htm). Here are a few guidelines that affect nearly all boaters: xIf you have a VHF radio on your boat, you must maintain a watch on channel 16 (156.800 MHz) whenever the radio is not being used to communicate. Starting in 2004, if a radio is carried, it must be on and set to channel 16 whenever your boat is underway. xIf you hear a distress call, wait a few minutes to let a shore station or Coast Guard vessel respond. If no other station has responded after 5 minutes, you must respond to the distress call. xDo not make false mayday or distress calls as a prank or to test your radio. (This is essentially like making a false 9-1-1 call; you may be subject to fines.) xCertification: FCC Part 15 or I.C.

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. Do not exceed 50% PTT Duty Factor. 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.RENSEIGNEMENTS DE LA FCC SUR L’EXPOSITION AUX FRÉQUENCES RFAVERTISSEMENT! Au mois d’août 1996, la Commission fédérale des communications (FCC) des États-Unis, par le biais de son intervention dans le rapport et l’ordonnance 96-326 ‘report and order FCC 96-326’, a mis à jour
E-34 Uniden Atlantis 150 Owner’s Manualles normes relatives à l’exposition humaine à l’énergie électromagnétique des fréquences radio émises par les transmetteurs autorisés par la FCC. Ces directives répondent aux normes de sécurité établies précédemment par les organismes américains et internationaux responsables de la conformité à ces normes. Le design et la fabrication de cette radio sont conformes aux directives de la FCC et à ces normes internationales.Ce dispositif est conforme aux exigences de sécurité relatives au débit d’absorption spécique (DAS) des radiofréquences lorsque vous respectez un régime d’utilisation de 50 % (temps de conversation).Ne laissez jamais un enfant utiliser un appareil radio doté d’un transmetteur sans supervision adéquate.AVERTISSEMENT! Il n’en tient qu’à l’utilisateur de faire fonctionner la radio dotée d’un transmetteur de manière sécuritaire.N’utilisez pas la radio si l’antenne est endommagée. Si une antenne endommagée entre en contact avec la peau, une brûlure légère peut se produire.This device was evaluated for body-worn operations with the supplied belt-clip accessory. (All necessary accessories are included in the package; any additional or optional accessories are not required for compliance with the guidelines.) Third party accessories (unless approved by the manufacturer) should be avoided as these might not comply with FCC RF exposure guidelines. 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.
