1.877.4VPULSE or www.virginpulse.com INTRODUCTION Congratulations! You’ve just bought the sexiest 2-way radios on the planet. Of course, we may be biased. But consider this: they’re seductively simple to use and super easy to carry in your hand, on your arm, or on your hip. Take them on a hike through the mountains or even down to the local shopping mall. Anywhere you want to stay in touch. They’re smart, fun, and practical. Over and out. 1.877.4VPULSE or www.virginpulse.com FCC INFORMATION Caution: Do not open your radio to make any internal adjustments. Your radio is set up to transmit a regulated signal on one of 14 assigned frequencies. It is against the law to alter or adjust the settings inside the radio. Adjustments to your radio can only be made by a qualified technician using the proper test equipment. 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 interference with TV or radio even if it is being operated properly. To determine whether your radio is causing the interference, turn it off. If the interference goes away, your radio is the cause. You can 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. This 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, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. INDUSTRY CANADA NOTICE Industry Canada does not require you to have a license to operate your FRS radio in Canada. Use of this FRS radio in other countries may or may not be allowed. Check with local authorities before transmitting outside of Canada. This device complies with RSS-210. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device. SAFETY INFORMATION Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When the Push-to-Talk button is pushed, it will send out radio frequency (RF) signals. The device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50%. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless devices. CAUTION: To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, you should hold the transmitter and antenna at least 2 inch (5 centimeters) from your face and speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away from the face. If you wear the radio on your body while using the headset accessory, only the supplied belt clip for this product can be used. When transmitting, make sure the antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body. Only the supplied antenna can be used, any unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations. 1.877.4VPULSE or www.virginpulse.com LCD DISPLAY SYMBOLS Your radio comes with a multifunction backlit display.
