1. INFORMATION, PRECAUTIONS CARE AND MAINTENANCE
USING THE HANDSET
On the basis of the current “Code of Electronic Communications”
(Legislative decree 259/03) all PMR 446 handsets are subject to a
declaration of use and an annual contribution: contact the Area
Inspector of reference (Ministry of Communications) to request
the forms and information on how to gain general authorisation
to use the PMR 446 handsets. The handsets may be used after
the necessary forms have been sent off, taking care to keep a
copy.
The use of PMR 446 2-way radios is allowed in Italy and in the
following European countries: France, Spain, Austria, Germany,
Denmark, Holland, Ireland, Great Britain, Sweden, Portugal,
Finland, Belgium, Czech Republic, Norway, Switzerland,
Luxemburg, and Greece. For use in the above-mentioned
countries, seek information on the regulations in the various
States.
RANGE
Your FX-100 has a range of up to 5 Km in wide open spaces. The
atmospheric and environmental conditions may limit the range.
The range may also be reduced if the batteries are not fully
charged. Other factors which might restrict range are: buildings,
thick vegetation (trees, etc.), hills or mountains. The greatest
range is obtained in wide open spaces which are fl at and free
from obstructions. Lastly, the range also depends on the battery
charge and receiving and transmitting features of the handsets
used by those with whom you are communicating.
PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY STANDARDS
Do not soak in water or other liquids, do not leave in constant
contact with water.
Aerial damage
Do not use radios with a damaged aerial. If a damaged aerial
comes into contact with skin, slight burning may be possible.
4
Batteries
• Do not replace or charge batteries in environments where there
is a risk of explosion.
• Only use 3 rechargeable AA batteries or 3 alkaline AA batteries.
• Ensure that the batteries are properly fi tted, observing the
polarity indicated inside the compartment.
Vehicles with airbag
Do not rest the radio in the area above the airbag or on the
area it occupies when open. When the airbag opens it infl ates
immediately. If the radio is in the area concerned it may be
projected forwards, risking injury to the occupants of the
vehicle.
Environments at risk of explosion
In environments with a risk of explosion it is best to switch off the
radio. The presence of sparks in these areas can cause fi res or
explosions.
Electric detonators and explosive areas
To avoid possible interference with operations in which explosive
material is used, switch off the radio near electric detonators, in
“partially explosive areas” or where there is a signal indicating
the need to switch off radios. Observe all instructions and
indications.
NOTE: Potentially explosive environments are often, but not
always, indicated clearly. These include: refuelling areas
(e.g. on-board boats) or transfer and storage areas
of combustible or chemical substances; environments
containing chemical products of suspended particles,
such as metallic dust or residue.
Electromagnetic compatibility/interference
Switch off the unit in any building where there are signs forbidding
its use. Hospitals or clinics may use equipment which is sensitive
to the electromagnetic emissions of the handset. Switch off the
5
unit on aircraft when its use is expressly forbidden. Any use of the
unit must respect the regulations of the airline or the instructions
given by the crew.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• If the handset is dirty, clean using a soft cloth and water. Never
use detergents or solvents, which could ruin the outer casing
and penetrate inside the handset, causing damage.
• Protect the handset from water or other liquids.

dicho alcance. Además, el alcance puede reducirse si las
baterías no están completamente cargadas. Otros factores
que pueden limitar el alcance son: edifi cios, vegetación espesa
(árboles, etc.), colinas o montañas. El alcance mejor se obtendrá
en un terreno abierto, llano y libre de obstáculos. Por último, el
alcance depende también de las condiciones de carga de las
baterías y de las características de recepción y transmisión de
los aparatos de sus interlocutores.
EMPLEO DE LOS APARATOS
PRECAUCIONES Y NORMAS DE SEGURIDAD
No hundan el producto en agua u otros líquidos, no lo dejen en
contacto con el agua de manera continua.

Daño de la antena
No utilicen receptores-transmisores con antena dañada. Si
una antena dañada entrara en contacto con la piel, podrían
causarse quemaduras de escasa entidad.
Baterías
• No sustituyan o carguen las baterías en ambientes a riesgo de
explosión.
• Utilicen sólo 3 baterías estilo recargables AA o bien 3 baterías
estilo alcalinas AA.
• Pongan cuidado en la correcta instalación de las baterías,
respetando la polaridad indicada en el interior del alojamiento.
Vehículos con airbag
No apoyen el receptor-transmisor en la zona arriba del airbag
o en la zona de su abertura. El hinchado del airbag, de hecho,
se produce de forma muy enérgica. Si el receptor-transmisor se
encontrara en la zona de abertura del airbag en el momento
en que el mismo se hincha, es posible que el aparato se lance
adelande, con riesgo de lesiones para las personas que ocupan
el vehículo.
Ambientes a riesgo de explosión
En los ambientes a riesgo de explosión es aconsejable apagar
el receptor-transmisor. La emisión de chispas en dichas zonas
puede, en efecto, generar explosiones o incendios.
Detonadores eléctricos y áreas explosivas
Para evitar posibles interferencias con operaciones en las que
se emplea material explosivo, apaguen el receptor-transmisor
cerca de detonadores eléctricos, en “áreas potencialmente
explosivas” o donde se ha expuesto la señal de apagamiento
de los aparatos receptores-transmisores. Cumplan con todas las
indicaciones e instrucciones.
NOTA: Los ambientes potencialmente explosivos son a menudo,
pero no siempre, señalizados de forma clara. Entre éstos
destacan: áreas para reponer carburante (por ejemplo
bajo cubierta en un barco) o bien instalaciones para la
transferencia y el almacenaje de sustancias combustibles
29
o químicas; ambientes que contienen productos químicos
o partículas en suspensión en el aire, como residuos o
polvos metálicos.
Compatibilidad/interferencia electromagnética
Apaguen la unidad en cualquier edifi cio en el que se han
colgado carteles que prohíban su uso. Los hospitales o los institutos
sanitarios pueden utilizar equipos sensibles a las emisiones
electromagnéticas del aparato. Apaguen la unidad a bordo
de aeromotores cuando se prohíba de forma manifi esta el uso.
Cada empleo de la unidad tiene que respetar el reglamiento
de la línea aérea o las instrucciones de la tripulación.
CUIDADO Y MANTENIMIENTO
• Si el equipo resultara sucio, utilicen un trapo suave con agua.
Nunca utilicen detergentes o solventes, que podrían estropear
la carcasa exterior y penetrar al interior del aparato, causando
daños.
• Protegan el equipo del agua u otros líquidos.
