SAFETY INFORMATION AND WARNINGS

Information on Safe Operation

Read This Information Before Using Your CRYSTAL Radio. The operation of your UHF
radio in Australia is subject to conditions in the following license: In Australia the ACMA
Radio communications (Citizen Band Radio Stations) and in New Zealand by MED the
General User Radio License for Citizen Band Radio.

Radio Antenna

Do not use any radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes in
contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the radio and violate compliance. Do NOT change or modify
the antenna.
Do NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE.” Holding the antenna reduces range
and may cause bodily harm.

Safety and general use whilst in a vehicle

Check the State and Federal laws and regulations regarding the use of two-way radios in
the area where you drive, and always obey them.

For Vehicles fitted with Airbags

Do not place your radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air
bags inflate with great force. If a radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air
bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to the
occupants of the vehicle

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if conductive
material such as jewellery, keys, or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The
material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise
care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or
other container with metal objects.

Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking
may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in
such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in injury or even death. NOTE: Areas
with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always clearly marked. They
include fuelling areas such as below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal
powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle
engine.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

Your CRYSTAL two-way radio complies with Australian Communications Authority Radio
communications (Electromagnetic Radiation-Human Exposure) Standard, 2003. To assure
optimal radio performance and make sure human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set out in the above standards always
adhere to the following procedures.
Transmit and Receive Procedure
Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. To control your exposure and
ensure compliance with the general population/uncontrolled environment exposure limits,
always adhere to the following procedure: • Transmit no more than 50% of the time.

• To receive calls, release the PTT button.

• To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (PTT) button.
Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio generates
measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring standards
compliance). Always hold the radio approximately 5cm in front of your mouth with the
antenna pointing away from your head.

Radio Operation and EME Exposure

Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and violate
compliance. Do NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE.” Holding the antenna
reduces the effective range. Do not use the radio if the antenna is damaged. If a damaged
antenna makes contact with your skin, a minor burn can result. If you wear a radio on your
body when transmitting, always fit the radio on the belt clip (supplied). Always ensure the
radio and it's antenna are at least 5cm from your body when transmitting.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI). To
avoid the possibility of electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off
your radio in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so such as health care
facilities.

Aircraft

When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when onboard an aircraft. Any use of a radio
must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.

Medical Devices – Pacemakers

The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum separation
of 6 inches (15cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
People with pacemakers should:

• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 15cm from their pacemaker when the radio is turned
ON.

• Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.

• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.

• Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place.

Medical Devices - Hearing Aids

Some radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you
may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.

General warnings

Never use your radio outdoors during a thunderstorm. Keep the radio out of reach of
babies and young children.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY & BELT CLIP

Belt clip

The supplied belt clip simply slides into the back of the main radio and clicks in place to
lock.

Battery pack

Your unit comes with a rechargeable battery pack. Also included, is a desktop charger.
The desktop charger will only charge the battery pack provided and not other types of
rechargeable batteries. If fitted, remove the belt clip by lifting the top tab away from the
main unit and slide the belt clip up. Slide the battery cover down approximately 5mm, then
lift away the cover. Insert the battery making sure the batteries label is facing outwards
with “up” at the top of the battery. Be sure to leave the batteries removal ribbon facing
outwards. Replace the battery cover ensuring the battery removal ribbon is laying flat
against the battery. If desired, replace the Belt clip.
