SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
Important Information for Safe and Efficient Operation
Please read this information before using your radio.
Safety and General
1. Do not transmit more than 50% of time. It is important as the radio generates
measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting.
2. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void
the user's authority to operate the equipment.
3. Radio frequency signals transmitted may cause interference to hearing aids.
4. Turn off the radio when near medical equipment.
5. This product should not be used by people with pacemakers.
6. Do not use the radio when driving a vehicle or operating machinery.
7. Do not use the radio when on board aircraft.
8. Do not hold the antenna when transmitting.
9. Do not use the radio when the antenna has damaged.
10. Turn off the radio and remove the batteries if you are not going to use it for a
long time.
Two-way Radio Operation
The device was tested for typical body-worn operations using the supplied belt-clip.
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, body-worn operations
are restricted to the supplied belt-clip.For hand-held operation, the radio should be
held at least 1 inch (2.5cm) from the user’s face. The use of accessories that do not
satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and
should be avoided. For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC
web site at www.fcc.gov.
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS
1. Never dispose of batteries in a fire. There is a serious risk of explosion and /or
the release of highly toxic chemicals.
2. Do not expose your product to direct sunlight, extreme cold or place it near
heating appliances.
3. Do not submerge any part of your product in water and do not use it in damp,
humid or wet conditions.
4. Do not expose your product to fire, explosive or other hazardous conditions. For
example, at petrol stations or areas where explosive products are used.
FCC LICENSING INFORMATION
This two-way radio operates on GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) frequencies
which require an FCC (Federal Communications Commission) license. A user must
be licensed prior to operating on any GMRS channels. Serious penalties could result
for unlicensed use of GMRS channels, in violation of FCC rules, as stipulated in the
Communications Act’s Sections 501 and 502 (amended).
Licensed users will be issued a call sign by the FCC, which should be used for station
identification when operating this radio. GMRS users should also cooperate by
engaging in permissible transmissions only, avoiding channel interference with other
GMRS users, and being prudent with the length of their transmission time.
Application for a GMRS system license can be made on FCC Form 605. You can call
the FCC Forms Hotline 1-800-418-FORM (3676). If You Have Questions about the
FCC License: Call the FCC 1-888-CALL-FCC (225-5322). You may also visit the
FCC’s Web site at http://www.fcc.gov
or

concerning GMRS.
Note: Use of this radio outside the country where it was intended to be distributed is
subject to government regulations and may be prohibited.
Warning: Any adjustment to this equipment is recommended to be performed by or
under the immediate supervision and responsibility of a person certified as technically
qualified to perform transmitter maintenance and repair duties in the private land
mobile services and fixed services by an organization or committee representative of
users of those services.
Warning: Replacement of any transmitter component (crystal, semiconductor, etc.) for
this equipment could result in violation of FCC rules.
Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments
could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.
FCC STATEMENTS:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)

Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. 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.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Selecting the CTCSS1/ CDCSS2code
There are 38 analogue (CTCSS 1 í 38) and 83 digital (CDCSS
39 í 121) codes available per channel. It is only possible to communicate using the walkieítalkies when they are each set to the
same channel and CTCSS/CDCSS codes.
The channels and the codes are transmitted as inaudible signals together with the standard voice communication. The voice communication is only transferred
to the receiving device’s loudspeaker when the channel and the code that it is set on is identical to that received.
If another subscriber is coincidentally using the same
channel and code, switch to a different, free channel together with the person operating the device called.
