Safety Information and Warnings
Safety Information and Warnings
Damaged Antenna
CAUTION
WARNING
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.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/
or bodily injury such as burns if conductive
material such as jewellery keys, or beaded
ch ains touc hes expos ed t ermi nals . Th e
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.
For Vehicles with an Air Bag
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.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is
a type especially qualified for such use (for
example, Factory Mutual Approved). Sparks in
such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in injury or even death.

Safety Information and Warnings
Batteries
WARNING
NOTE: Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often,
but not always clearly marked. They include fueling 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.
Do not replace or c har ge batteri es in a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact
spa rking may oc cur w hile in stall ing o r
removing batteries and cause an explosion.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting
operations, turn your radio OFF near electrical
blasting caps or in a “blasting area” or in
areas posted: “Turn off the two way radio.”
Obey all signs and instructions.
Cleaning and Care
To clean your radio, use a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not
use cleaners or solvent, which may cause damage that may not be
covered by the guarantee.

Information on Safe Operation
Read This Information Before Using Your Oricom Radio.
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).
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your Oricom two-way radio complies with Australian
Communications Authority Radiocommunications (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.
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 affects 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 2.5 cm from your body when transmitting.

Information on Safe Operation
Radiocommunications (Citizen Band Radio
Stations) Class Licence 2002
No licence is required to own or operate this radio in Australia and
New Zealand.
The Radiocommunications (Citizen Band Radio Stations) Class
Licence 2002 contains the technical parameters, operating
requirements, conditions of licence and relevant standards for
Citizen Band (CB) radios. CB radios must comply with the class
licence for their use to be authorised under the class licence.
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 (15 cm) 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 15 cm from their •
pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.•
7
Information on Safe Operation
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 digital wireless 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.
