RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide for Portable Two-Way Radios

Before using this product, read the RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide that ships with the radio which contains instructions for safe usage and RF energy awareness and control for compliance with applicable standards and regulation.

Acoustic Safety
Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods of time may temporarily or permanently affect your hearing. The louder the radio volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing damage from loud noise is sometimes undetectable at first and can have a cumulative effect. To protect your hearing:

• Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.
• Turn up the volume only if you are in noisy surroundings.
• Turn down the volume before adding headset or earpiece.
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at high volume.
• When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place the radio speaker directly against your ear.
• If you experience hearing discomfort, ringing in your ears, or speeches that are muffled, you should stop listening to your radio through your headset or earpiece, and have your hearing checked by your doctor.

Important Information

• Do not charge your accessory in temperature below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 45 °C (113 °F). Do not store your accessory in direct sunlight or where expected temperatures can exceed this range, such as inside a parked car.
• Storing your fully charged accessory in high temperature conditions may permanently reduce the life of the internal battery.
• Battery life may temporarily shorten in low-temperature conditions.
• The Remote Control POD should be stored between –10 °C (14 °F) and 30 °C (86 °F) to minimize permanent battery capacity loss.
• To prevent injury, do not disassemble, puncture, or crush the POD because these actions can cause the battery to short-circuit.
• Do not expose or throw the POD into heat or fire.
• Do not dispose of the POD into household waste.
• Do not fill the audio jack and USB charging port with water. If water enters the audio jack and/or USB charging port, remove water by shaking the POD. Always cover the audio jack and USB charging port with a dust cap when not in use.
