using GMRS frequencies obtain a radio license before operating their equipment. To obtain the FCC
forms, go to http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/personal/generalmobile/index.html to obtain Forms 605 and
159, which include all forms and instructions.
Changes or modifications not approved by GAI-Tronics Corporation may void the user’s authority
granted by the FCC to operate this radio and should not be made. To comply with FCC requirements,
transmitter adjustments should be made only by or under the supervision of a person certified as
technically qualified to perform transmitter maintenance and repairs in the private land mobile and fixed
services as certified by an organization representative of the user of those services. Replacement of any
transmitter component (crystal, semiconductor, etc.) not authorized by the FCC equipment authorization
for this radio could violate FCC rules.

Safety and General Information
User Instructions
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 instruction manual, 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.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your radio is designed to comply with the following standards and guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy:
• FCC, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields in the
Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
Antenna Care
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and may violate FCC regulations.
Do NOT hold the antenna when the radio is IN USE. Holding the antenna affects the effective range.
Approved Accessories
Only use GAI-Tronics Corporation approved accessories. See WWW.GAI-TRONICS.COM
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Electronic equipment may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference. If you experience interference, visit the FCC website
at http://www.fcc.gov for possible solutions.
Operational Cautions
Hospitals or Health Care Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices
instruct you to do so. Hospital or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
Aircraft/Airports
Airports may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with
applicable regulations.
Medical Devices - Pacemakers
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by, and recommendations of the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration. Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches (15 cm) from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
• Do NOT carry the radio in the breast pocket.
• Turn the radio OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a
blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.

Safe Handling of CMOS Integrated Circuit Devices
Many of the integrated circuit devices used in communications equipment are of the Complementary
Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) type. Because of their high open circuit impedance, CMOS
integrated circuits are vulnerable to damage from static charges. Care must be taken handling, shipping,
and servicing them and the assemblies in which they are used.
Even though protection devices are provided in CMOS integrated circuit inputs, the protection is effective
only against overvoltage in the hundreds of volts range such as is encountered in an operating system. In
a system, circuit elements distribute static charges and load the CMOS circuits, decreasing the chance of
damage. However, CMOS circuits can be damaged by improper handling of the modules, even in a
system.
To avoid damage to circuits, observe the following handling, shipping, and servicing precautions:
1. Prior to and while servicing a circuit module, particularly after moving within the service area,
momentarily touch both hands to a bare metal, earth-grounded surface. This will discharge any static
charge that may have accumulated on the person doing the servicing.
OTE: Wearing a conductive wrist strap will minimize static build-up during servicing.
N
2. Whenever possible, avoid touching any electrically conductive parts of the circuit module with your
hands.
3. Power down the unit before installing or removing the circuit module.
4. When servicing a circuit module, avoid carpeted areas, dry environments, and certain types of
clothing (silk, nylon, etc.) because they contribute to static build-up. Similarly, disconnect the test
probe prior to removing the ground lead.
5. All electrically powered test equipment should be grounded. Apply the ground lead from the test
equipment to the circuit module before connecting the test probe.
6. If a circuit module is removed from the system, it is desirable to lay it on a conductive surface (such
as a sheet of aluminum foil) which is connected to ground through 100k of resistance.
7. When soldering, be sure the soldering iron is grounded and has a grounded tip.
8. Prior to connecting jumpers, replacing circuit components, or touching CMOS pins (if this becomes
necessary in the replacement of an integrated circuit device), be sure to discharge any static build-up
as described in procedure 1. Since voltage differences can exist across the human body, it is
recommended that only one hand be used if it is necessary to touch pins on the CMOS device and
associated board wiring.
9. When replacing a CMOS integrated circuit device, leave the device in its conductive rail container or
conductive foam until it is to be inserted into the printed circuit module.
10. All low impedance test equipment (such as pulse generators, etc.) should be connected to CMOS
device inputs after power is applied to the CMOS circuitry. Similarly, such low impedance
equipment should be disconnected before power is turned off.
11. Replacement modules shipped separately from the factory will be packaged in a conductive material.
Any modules being transported from one area to another should be wrapped in a similar material
(aluminum foil may be used). Never use non-conductive material for packaging these modules.
