Safety Information and Warnings
Information on Safe Operation
Read This Information Before Using Your Radio. The operation of your radio in
Your country is subject to conditions in the following license:
Radio Antenna
Do not use any radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes in
contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and violate compliance.
Do NOT change or modify the antenna. Do NOT hold the antenna when the radio is
“IN USE.” Holding the antenna reduces range and may cause bodily harm.
Safety and general use whilst in a vehicle
Check the State and Federal laws and regulations regarding the use of two way
radios in the area where you drive, and always obey them.
For Vehicles fitted with Air Bags
Do not place your radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a radio is placed in
the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be
propelled with great force and Cause serious injury to the occupants of the
vehicle.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if
conductive material such as jewellery, keys, or Beaded chains touches exposed
terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and
become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly
when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other containers with metal
objects. Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries
and cause an explosion.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in injury or
even death.
NOTE: Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not
always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as below deck on boats;
fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other
area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your radio OFF
near electrical blasting caps or in a “blasting area” or in areas posted:
“Turn off the two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Transmit and Receive Procedure
Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. To control your
exposure and ensure compliance with the general population/uncontrolled
environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedure:
- Transmit no more than 50% of the time. To receive calls, release the PTT button.
To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (PTT) button. Transmitting 50% of
the time, or less, is important because the radio generates measurable RF
energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring standards
compliance). Always hold the radio approximately 5cm in front of your mouth
with the antenna pointing away from your head.
Radio Operation and EME Exposure
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio
and violate Compliance. Do NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE.”
Holding the antenna reduces the effective range. Do not use the radio if the
antenna is damaged. If a damaged antenna makes contact with your skin, a minor
burn can result. If you wear a radio on your body when transmitting, always
fit the radio on the belt clip (supplied). Always ensure the radio and it’s
antenna are at least 5cm from your body when transmitting.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference
(EMI). To avoid the possibility of electromagnetic interference and/or
compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any location where posted
notices instruct you to do so much as healthcare facilities.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when onboard an aircraft. Any
use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline
crew instructions.
Medical Devices – Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (15cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio
and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
People with pacemakers should:
- ALWAYS keep the radio more than 15cm from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
- Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
- Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
- Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Medical Devices –‐Hearing Aids
Some radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if it is adequately shielded
from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
General warnings
Never use your radio outdoors during a thunderstorm. Keep the radio out of
reach of babies and young children.
