PERFORMANCE
Y our transceiver will achieve its maximum operating range when communicating
with other transceivers in a flat open area with no trees or buildings obstructing
its signal. Range may be up to tw o m il es u n de r such conditions. Obstacles
such as buildings, trees or mountains will tend to reduce the transceiver’s
effective range.
FCC WARNING
Replacement or substitution of transistors, diodes or other parts of a unique
nature, with parts other than those recommended by the manufacturer, may
cause a violation of the technical regulations of Part 15 of FCC Rules.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Y our wireless handheld portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter.
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
