ATTENTION
READ ME FIRST
FCC WARNING
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment.
NOTICE:
This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his
own expense.
• Properly shielded a grounded cables
and connectors must be used for
connection to host computer and /
or peripherals in order to meet FCC
emission limits. (AC adaptor) with ferrite
core must be used for RF interference
suppression.
Notes to the Installer /
User.
• This is a 13.8-volt or 26.4-volt DC radio,
voltages greater than 33 volts DC or AC
voltage will severely damage it.
• When making adjustments to the
transmitter, ensure that you are not on
an occupied channel.
• Do not transmit on 121.500MHz, as this
is the international distress frequency.
• Do not transmit into an unterminated
antenna line as a suitable antenna must
be connected. Transmitting without
being connected to an antenna may
damage the radio.
• Ensure that the supply voltage is
regulated and does not fall below 11.7
volts DC or exceed 31 volts DC.
• The transceiver is not waterproof. Do
not allow it to get wet.
• Speaker impedance must be either 4 or
8 ohms (4 ohms preferred) at 10 watts.
• Use of electret microphones highly
recommended.
