Operational Cautions
Exposure to high volume sound levels may cause temporary or permanent damage to your hearing. Although there is no single volume setting that is appropriate for everyone, you should always use your radio with the volume set at low level and avoid prolonged exposure to high volume sound levels.
- Set the volume control in a low position and use as low a volume as possible.
- Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings. Whenever possible, use your radio in a quiet environment with low background noise.
- Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpiece at high volume levels.
- When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place the radio’s speaker directly against your ear.
- Observe all signs and instructions that require an electrical device or RF radio product to be switched off in designated areas,such as gas/refueling stations,hospitals,blasting areas,potentially explosive atmospheres,or aircraft.
- If you experience a skin irritation after using this product, discontinue use and seek medical attention.
- If the product or charger: overheats; has a damaged cord or plug; has been dropped or damaged; has been dropped into water, disconnect any charger from its power supply, discontinue use of the product.
Electromagnetic Interference
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference
(EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for
electromagnetic compatibility. Turn off your radio in any facility where posted
notices instruct you to do so. These facilities may include hospitals or
health care facilities that may be using equipment that is sensitive to
external RF energy.
- When instructed to do so, turn off your radios when on board an aircraft.Any use of a RF device must be in accordance with applicable laws,requlations and airline crew instructions.
- Some radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer or physician to discuss alternatives.
- lf you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your deivce to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your doctor or physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

When the PTT button is pushed, it sends 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 handheld wireless devices.
Important
FCC RF Exposure Requirements: For body-worn operation, this radio has been
tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with Gowei
accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories
may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. Use only the
supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments could
damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.
Normal Position

device while operating can be well below the maximum value.
Before a new model device is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit
established by the FCC/ISEDC, Tests for each device are performed in positions
and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
