Important informationImportant information

Please read before installing or operating
your Oricom Radio

The operation of this radio in Australia and New Zealand is subject to
conditions in the following licenses,

In Australia the ACMA Radio communications
(Citizen Band Radio Stations).

In New Zealand the General User Radio License for
Citizen Band Radio.

Channels 5 and 35 (paired for Duplex repeaters) are reserved as
emergency channels and should be used only in an emergency. CTCSS
and DCS will not operate on these channels.

Channel 11 is a calling channel generally used to call others and
channel 40 is the customary road vehicle channel.

Once contact is established on the calling channel, both stations
should move to another unused “SIMPLEX” channel to allow others to
use the calling channel.

Channels 22 and 23 are for Telemetry and Telecommand use, voice
communications are not allowed on these channels by law.

Channels marked Duplex are reserved for repeater use in some areas.
These are paired with higher channels as output/input (1/31, 2/32, etc.)
Check for local repeater activity before using these channels in Simplex
mode to avoid interference. Channels 9 and above are the best choices
for general use in Simplex mode. You can find more information about
channels and frequencies by visiting the Web site:

Note:

Refer to the “Channel Table” section of this Owner’s Manual for
detailed frequency listing.

Safety Warning

For Vehicles with an Air Bag

WARNING

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.

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.

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.

Use While Driving

Check the laws regarding the use of radios while driving,
and always obey them.
