To use the 2 way radio like a walkie-talkie, hold it vertically with the micro­phone at 2.5 to 5cm away from the mouth.

Data mode operation

When the data transfer function is being used, with or without an accessory
cable, the radio and its aerial must be held further than 2.5 cm away from the body.

Electromagnetic interference/compatibility
Note : the majority of electronic appliances are sensitive to electromagnetic interference

(EMI) in the event of insufficient protection, design or configuration regarding electromagne­tic compatibility.

Locations

To avoid interference caused by electromagnetic radiation, turn off the radio when reques­ted to do so by a public sign or an official. Hospitals and medical centres use equipment
with external RF energy sources.

Aeroplanes

Turn off the 2 way radio when requested to do so on board an aeroplane. All radio use must
be in accordance with airline regulations and cabin crew instructions.

Medical Equipment - Pacemakers

The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that radios should be held at
more than 15cm. (6 inches) from a pacemaker. This is in accordance with research under­taken by the US Food & Drug Administration and their recommendations. Those with pace­makers fitted must:

• ALWAYS hold the radio at more than 15cm. (6 inches) from their pacemaker when
the radio is turned on.

• Avoid carrying the 2 way radio in a chest pocket.

• Hold the 2 way radio to the ear on the opposite side of the body to the pacema­ker, to reduce the possibility of interference.

• TURN OFF the radio immediately if there is reason to suspect the presence of inter­ference.

Medical devices - Hearing aids

Certain 2 way radios can create interference for certain hearing aids. If this is the case,
contact the hearing aid manufacturer to discuss other possible solutions.

Other medical devices

If another type of personal medical device is used please consult the manufacturer to esta­blish whether it is sufficiently protected against external RF energy sources. Your doctor can
help obtain such information.

Safety and use in a vehicle

Drivers must check the laws and regulations relative to the use of 2 way radios in the areas
where they are driving

.

Always observe these laws and regulations strictly.
If you wish to use the radio when driving, stop and park on the shoulder of the road before

sending or responding.

3- PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

Operating Precautions

Aerials

Do not use 2 way radios with damaged aerials.
The skin may be mildly burnt if exposed to a damaged aerial.

Batteries

Batteries can cause damage and injury if a conducting object (for example, jewellery, keys
or a metal bracelet) touches the exposed areas. The conducting object may create a short­circuit in this situation and become extremely hot. Empty or charged batteries must be hand­led with care, especially when placed in pockets, bags or into any other container for metal
objects.

NEVER TRY TO recharge the batteries themselves as they may explode and cause perso­nal injury or damage the 2 way radio.

Care and Use

To clean the radio

• Use a soft, damp cloth

• Do not immerse in water.

• Do not use spirits or cleaning solvents.

If the radio gets wet

• Turn the 2 way radio off and remove the batteries.

• Dry with a soft cloth.

• All battery elements may be wiped with a dry, lint-free cloth.

• Do not use the radio while it is not completely dry.
