Battery Attentions

The battery is not completely charged at the factory, please charge it before using it. To extend the battery lifetime, please turn off the radio when you don’t use it, and save it in a cool (temperature around 25℃ ) and dry place.

Misuse of Li-ion batteries may result in the following hazards: smoke, fire, or the rupture of the battery. Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of the battery’s performance.

  1. NEVER use the incinerated battery packs. Internal battery gas may cause an explosion.
  2. NEVER strike or use other ways to impact the battery pack. Do not use the battery pack if it has severely impacted dropped, or subjected to heavy pressure. Battery pack damage may not be visible on the outside of the case. Even if the surface of the battery does not show cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the battery may rupture or fire.
  3. DANGER! NEVER leave the battery pack in places with temperatures above 60˚C (140˚F). A high-temperature buildup in the battery cells may cause the battery cells to rupture or catch fire, such as near fires or stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight for long periods of time. Excessive temperatures may also degrade the pack’s performance or shorten the battery cell’s life.
  4. NEVER place the battery packs near a fire. Fire or heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of used battery packs in accordance with local regulations.
  5. NEVER solder the battery terminals, or modify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and the battery may burst, emit smoke, or fire.
  6. NEVER let fluid from inside the battery get in your eyes. This can cause blindness. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing them, and immediately go to a doctor.
  7. NEVER use the deteriorated battery packs, which could cause a fire.
  8. NEVER let fluid from inside the battery cells come in contact with your body. If it does, immediately wash with clean water.
  9. NEVER put the battery packs in a microwave oven, high-pressure container, or an induction heating cooker. This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery cells to rupture.
  10. CAUTION: DO NOT expose the battery packs to rain, snow, salt water, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet battery pack. If the battery pack gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry cloth before using it.
  11. DO NOT use the battery if it emits an abnormal odor, heats, or is discolored or deformed. If any of these conditions occur, contact your Ailunce dealer or distributor.
  12. DO NOT use the battery pack out of the specified temperature range –10˚C ~ +45˚C. Using the pack out of this range will reduce the battery pack’s performance and affect the battery cell life.
  13. DO NOT leave the battery pack fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature environment (above 50˚C, 122˚F) for an extended period of time. Otherwise, the service life of the battery will be reduced. If the battery pack is left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the transceiver after discharging.

Charging Attentions

  1. DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight. In such environments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery pack will be activated and the charging will be stopped.
  2. NEVER charge the transceiver during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, a fire, or damage to the transceiver. Disconnect the power adapter before a storm.
  3. NEVER charge or leave the battery in the battery charger beyond 8 hours for charging. If the battery pack is not completely charged during the specified time, stop charging and remove it from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the battery pack beyond the specified time limit may cause a fire, overheat, or the battery may rupture.
  4. Occasionally observe the battery pack condition while charging. If any abnormal condition occurs, stop using the battery pack.
  5. DO NOT insert the transceiver with the battery pack attached to the charger if it is wet or soiled. This could corrode the battery charger terminal or damage the charger. The charger is not waterproof.
  6. DO NOT charge the battery pack out of the specified temperature range: 10˚C ~ 40˚C (32˚F ~ 104˚F). Ailunce recommends charging the pack at 25˚C (77˚F). The battery pack may overheat or rupture if charged out of the specified temperature range. Additionally, the battery performance or the battery life may be reduced.

GMRS Radio License
A valid individual license is required to operate a GMRS station. To obtain an individual license, an applicant must be eligible and follow the applicable rules and procedures established by the FCC. The applicant must pay the required application and regulatory fees. Each individual license in the GMRS will normally have a term of ten years from the date of grant or renewal and may be renewed pursuant to the procedures of the FCC. To obtain a GMRS operator license, you need FCC Form 605 & 159, we suggest visiting the FCC website at https://www.f-cc.gov/wireless/support/fcc-form-605, which includes necessary instructions. For more questions about the license application, please contact the FCC at 1-888-225-5322 or go to the FCC’s website: http://www.fcc.gov. According to FCC rules, any individual who holds an individual license may allow his or her immediate family members to operate his or her GMRS station or stations.

Disposal
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on your product, literature, or packaging reminds you that all electrical and electronic products, batteries, and accumulators (rechargeable batteries) must be taken to designated collection locations at the end of their working life. Do not dispose of these products as unsorted municipal waste. Dispose of them according to the laws in your area.

Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures. When operating in front of the face, worn on the body, always place the radio in a Retevis-approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Using approved body-worn accessories is important because the use of Non-Retevis approved accessories may result in exposure levels, which exceed the IEEE/ICNIRP RF exposure limits.

Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To Transmit (Talk), push the Push to Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls (listen), release the PTT button. Transmitting necessary information or less, is important because the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting in terms of measuring for standards compliance.

  • DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio, and the antenna gain shall not exceed the specified gain by the manufacturer declared.
  • DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time, more than 50% of the time can cause RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
  • During transmissions, your radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so.
  • DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
  • Portable Device, this transmitter may operate with the antenna(s) documented in this filing in Push-to-Talk and body-worn configurations. RF exposure compliance is limited to the specific belt-clip and accessory configurations as documented in this filing and the separation distance between the head and the device or its antenna shall be at least 2.5 cm.

Hand-held Mode
Hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone (and other parts of the radio including the antenna) at least 2.5 cm (one inch) away from the nose or lips. The antenna should be kept away from the eyes. Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important as RF exposure decreases with increasing distance from the antenna.
