Any Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands, although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. Before a new model is a available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that is does not exceed the exposure limit established by the FCC. Tests for each product are performed in positions and locations as required by the FCC.

For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with and accessory designated for this product or when used with and accessory that contains no metal.

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines hold the transmitter and antenna at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your face and speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away from the face.

The equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for and uncontrolled environment. In order to comply with the FCC RF exposure requirement, the antenna installation must comply with following:

Users must be fully aware of the hazards of the exposure and able to exercise control over their

RF exposure to qualify for the higher exposure limits.
Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. This product sends out radio frequency (RF) signals when the Push- – to- Talk(PTT) button is pressed.

The device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50%

Note : This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct 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 the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Important Notice

FCC LICENSE REQUIRED FOR GMRS OPERATION

(Only Applicable for GMRS Radio Use in the United States) The radios operates on GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) frequencies which require an FCC (Federal Communications Commission) license. You must be licensed prior to operating on channels 1 – 7 or 15 – 22, which comprise the GMRS channels of the radios. Serious penalties could result from unlicensed use of GMRS channels, in violation of FCC rules, as stipulated in the Communications Acts Sections 501 and 502 (amended).

You will be issued a call sign by the FCC which should be used for station identification when operating the radio on GMRS channels. You should also cooperate by engaging in permissible transmissions only, avoiding channel interference with other GMRS users, and being prudent with the length of your transmission time.

To obtain a license or ask questions about the license application, contact the FCC at 1 888-CALLFCC or go to the FCC’s website: http://www.fcc.gov and request form 605. Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy

IMPORTANT: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by Quanshun Communication Technology Co., Ltd could void your right to operate this unit. Your radiois set up to transmit a regulated signal on an assigned frequency. It is against the law to alter or adjust thesettings inside the COMMUNICATOR to exceed those limitations. Any adjustment to your radio must be made by qualified technicians.

During receving, the voice is weak, discontinuous or totally inactive.| Low battery voltage| Recharge or replace the battery.
Low volume leve| Increase the volume by rotating the Volume Control knob.
The antenna may be loosened or improperly installed.| Reassemble the antenna after turning off the radio.
The speaker may be blocked or damaged| Clean the surface of the speaker.If the problem cannot be solved, contact your dealer or authorized service center for inspection and repair.
Unable to communicate with other members.| The frequency or signaling may be inconsistent with that of other members| Set your TX/RX frequency and signaling to the same as that of other members
The channel type(digital/anaiog)may be set inconsistently| Make sure all members are on the same digital/analog channel.
You may be interrupted by radios using the same frequency| Change the frequency，or adjust the squelch level.

adjust the squelch level.
The radio may be set with no signaling.| Set signaling for all member radios to avoid inference at the same frequency.And change the signaling settings for all portable radios at the same time.
The noise is too loud.| You may be too far away from otjer members.| Move towards other members.
You may locate in an unfavorable position.For example， your communication may be blocked by high buildings or frustarted in the underground areas.| Move to an open and flat area, and restart the radio to try again.
You may suffer from external disturbance(such as electromagnetic interference).| Stay away from equipment that may cause interference.
