-1-USER'S MANUALRead this information before using your product.Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice Cautions.Modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void theuser's authority to operate the equipment.FCC compliance InformationThis device complies with part 15 of FCC Rules.Operation is subject to the following two conditions:1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and2. This device must accept any interference received.Including interference that may cause undesired operation.Information to UserThis equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digitaldevice, Pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.Theselimitsaredesignedtoprovidereasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio Frequency energy and,ifnotinstalled and used in accordance with th einstruction, may cause harmful interference toradio communications.However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. Ifthis equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, whic h canbe determined by turning the equipmentoffandon,theuserisencouragedtotry tocorrect the interference by one or more of the following measures:> Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.> Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver> Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which thereceiver is connected.Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
-2-RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY SAFETY INFORMATIONThis UNIMO transceiver has been tested and complies with the standards listed below, in regards toradio Frequency(RF) energy electromagnetic energy(EME) generated by thetransceiver> FCC RF exposure limits for Occupational use only. RF exposure limits adopted by the FCC aregenerally based on recommendations from the national council on radiation protection and measurement,& the American National National Standards Institute.> FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C> American National Standards Institute(C95.1-1992)> American National Standards Institute(C95.3-1992)WARNINGThis UNIMO transceiver generates RF EME while transmitting. RF EME(Radio Frequency Electric &Magnetic Energy)has the potential to cause slight thermal, or heating effects to any part of your bodyless than the recommended distance from this radio transmitter's antenna.RF energy exposure is determined primarily by the distance to and the power of the transmitting device.In general, RF exposure is minimized when the lowest possible power is used or transmission time is keptto the minimum required for consistent communications, and the greatest distancepossiblefromtheantenna to the body is maintain.The transceiver has been designed for and is classified for Occupational use only.Occupational/controlled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which persons are exposed to RFenergy as a consequence of their employment, and such persons have been madeawareofthepotentialfor exposure and can exercise control over their exposure.This means you can use the transceiver only if you are aware of the hazards of operating a transceiverand are familiar in ways to minimize these hazards. This transceiver is not intended for use by thegeneral public in uncontrolled environments.Uncontrolled environment exposure limits are applicable to situations in which the general public may beexposed to RF energy ,or in which the persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employmentmay not be fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposureThe following list provides you with the information required to ensure that you are aware of RFexposure and of how to operate this transceiver so that the FCC RF exposure limitations are notexceeded.> While transmitting(holding the PTT switch), always keep the antenna at least 2.5cm (1 inches) fromyour body or face ,as well as from any bystanders> Do not transmit for more than 50% of the total transceiver use time; transmitting over 50% of the totalusetimemayexceedthelimitsinaccordancetotheFCCRFexposurerequirements. Nominal transceiveroperation is 5% transmission time,5% reception time, and 90% stand-by time> Use only the specified antenna for this transceiver; this may be either the antenna provided with thetransceiver or another antenna authorized by UNIMO.Use only UNIMO authorized accessories (antennas, battery packs, belt clips, Speaker/Mics or headsetsetc.):
-3-When worn on the body, always place the radio in a UNIMO recommended clip or carrying case meant forthis product. The use of other than recommended or approved body-worn accessories may result in RFexposure levels which exceed the FCC's occupational /controlled environment RF exposure limits.CAUTIONTo ensure that your exposure to RF EME is within the FCC limits for occupationaluse,youmustobserveand adhere to the above points.Electromagnetic Interference CompatibilityElectronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference(EMI)if they are not adequatelyshielded or designed for electromagnetic compatibility. Because this transceiver generates RF energy, itcan cause interference to such equipment.>Turn OFF your transceiver where signs are posted to do so. Hospitals and health care facilities useequipment that is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation.> Turn OFF your transceiver while on board an aircraft when so instructed, Use of the transceiver mustbe in accordance with airline regulations and/or crew instructions.1. PRODUCT INTRODUCTIONTHE PF-400NW LMR(Land Mobile Radio) of UNIMO Technology Co,. Ltd. is a sophisticatedState-of-The-Art unit which incorporates The modern technology available in Tow-WayRadio Communications.The use of microprocessor technology makes changing radio characteristics such asoperating frequencies and squelch codes both fast and economical any computer equippedPF-400NW dealer can easily reprogram your radio's operating characteristics, or your radiocan be "Cloned" from a radio already programmed to your desired frequencies and codes.PF-400NW LMR satisfies tough environmental requirements while providing cost effectiveand reliable communications.

-5-2. HOW TO USE2.1 POWER ON/OFF, VOLUME CONTROLTuring the power switch clockwise turn power ON and sets the volume level. When thepower is on, transceiver's ID and name appear on the LCD2.2 PUSH-TO-TALK(PTT) SWITCHWhen depressed and held, engages the transmitter and puts radio in the transmit mode. atthat time, TX lamp(red) is lighted. When released, The radio operates in the receive mode.2.3 MONITOR BUTTONSelects the mode of operation, Carrier squelch or tone squelch.CASE 1 : In case of pressing the monitor key for less then 2Sec, checks the channel inuse scanning each channel. Then monitor operation stops as monitor key is released, Thereceivemodebegins.CASE 2 : In case of pressing the monitor key for 2Sec, stop to the channel in useandkeeps the receive mode until identifying the next monitor key.When the monitor key is pressed, The current operation stop and returns to the receivemode.2.4 CHANGE THE CHANNELUse the channel button for changing the channel. If press the UP[ ] button, channel▲number increases. If press the DOWN[ ] button, the channel number decreases. If press▼and hold the button for a while, the channel is rapidly changed.2.5 CHANGE THE TX OUTPUTThe TX output is selected between HIGH(5W) and LOW(1W). If press the UP button withPTT button pressed, it is converted to "H"(High). If press the DOWN button with PTT buttonpressed, it is converted "L"(Low).
-6-2.6 TRANSMISSIONIn Tx mode, as soon as pressing the PTT button, DTMF and 5-Tone ID are transmitted. At thattime, you can't communicate and the Rx/Tx lamp is lighted.Note) If it is keyed continuously for longer than the programmed time, the transmission is inhibited. (BCLO, TOT feature)Fig.4 Transmission2.7 RECEIVINGYou can receive with PTT button released. DTMF or 5-tone sounds and display the caller'sname on LCD according to Transceiver.(See Call Mode section) Whether it is in bad condition orhas a different tone(CTCSS/DCS) in spite of same frequency, it can't be received. In normal, itcan receive all signals by pressing the monitor button and it continues the monitor mode bypressing the button for 2 seconds. Press the monitor button again to release the monitor mode.Select the channel for the call.Fig.5 Receiving2.8 ACCESSORY CONNECTOR(PHONE JACK AND MIC JACK)Provides accessibility for connection to remote accessories such as a speaker microphone.NOTE : The accessory connector protects the accessory connector.
