MANDATORY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR INSTALLERS AND USERS
Use only manufacturer or dealer supplied antennas. The Federal Communications Commission has
adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF (Radio frequency) energy, which is below the
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) limits.
The term “IC:” before the certification/registration number only signifies that the Industry Canada
technical specifications were met.
Base Station Antenna minimum safe distance: 7.9 inches (20 cm) at 100% duty cycle.
Base Station Antenna gain: This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a
maximum gain of up to 7dBi.
Antenna mounting: The antenna(s) used for the base transmitter must be installed to provide a
separation distance of at least 7.9 inches (20 cm) from all persons and must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Antenna substitution: Do not substitute any antenna for the one supplied by the manufacturer. You
may be exposing person or persons to excess radio frequency radiation. You may contact your dealer or
the manufacturer for further instructions.
WARNING: Maintain a separation distance from the base station transmit antenna to a person(s) of at
least 7.9 inches (20 cm) at 100% duty cycle.
WARNING: Excessive sound pressure level from earphones or headphones can cause hearing loss.
You, as the qualified end-user of this radio device must control the exposure conditions of bystanders to
ensure the minimum separation distance (above) is maintained between the antenna and nearby persons
for satisfying exposure compliance. The operation of this transmitter must satisfy the requirements of
Occupational /Controlled Exposure Environment, for work-related use. Transmit only when person(s) are
at least the minimum distance from the properly installed, externally mounted antenna.

two. Using the DX210 in the 2-channel mode, any 3 of the 15 Communicators can transmit at the same
time. In the single-channel mode, any 4 Communicators can transmit at the same time. This number
can be increased by adding up to 3 additional base stations. The DX210 supports both Clear-Com
and RTS cabled 2-wire intercom systems, and also has 4-wire and auxiliary audio connections.
The DX210 operates in the 2.4GHz band, and has provisions for “Spectrum Friendly” co-existence
with other devices in the same band.

2.1.2 Charge Batteries
Up to four batteries can be charged in the battery charger at the same time. The battery status lights
next to each charging port are explained below. Up to six fully charged batteries can be stored in the
battery storage ports.
Insert a battery in each of four charging ports until it clicks in place.
A yellow light next to each charging port stays on while the port is empty.
When a battery is in a charging port, a flashing yellow light next to it indicates CHARGE PENDING,
which means the battery is too hot. Adjust the room temperature or move the charger to a cooler area.
When a battery is in a charging port, a yellow light on steady next to it means CHARGE FAILED.
If this happens, follow the instructions on the side of battery charger.
