PERFORMANCE

Your 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 two miles under 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

Your wireless portable transceiver contains a transmitter. When the headset PTT button is pushed, or the VOX mode is in effect, 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 guidelines,

use the Audiovox supplied carry clip for belt attachment to ensure that the antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting. If you choose to hold the unit, maintain the same antenna distance from your body as indicated above. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.
