CAUTION:
SAFETY INFORMA TION
Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power
transmitter. When the PTT button is pushed (or the VOX mode is enabled) 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 hand-held wireless devices.
Important: To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guide-
lines hold the transmitter at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters)
from your face and speak in a normal voice, with the antenna
pointed up and away. If you wear the handset on your body
while using the headset accessory, use only the Audiovox
supplied carry clip for this product and ensure that the an
tenna is at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body when
transmitting. Use only the supplied antenna. Do not use your
transceiver with a damaged antenna. Unauthorized anten-
nas, modifications, or attachments could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.
Performance:
Your transceiver will only achieve its maximum operating range when
communicating with other transceivers across open and flat areas or
between elevated points. Normally occurring environmental factors such
as buildings, trees, terrain and weather, or interference from other radio
or electrical equipment, may have adverse effects on the transceiver’s
effective range. These are not indicative of a fault condition.
Avoid placing the GMRS600SLK radio transceiver for prolonged periods
of time in direct sunlight or temperatures below -4°F(-20°C) or above
140°F (60°C).
