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 jewelry, 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

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

Battery meter
The battery meter is located in the left corner of the LCD screen.
It appears like a battery with three bars inside. These indicate
the amount of power available. When the battery level reaches it
minimum level, the unit will emit two beep tones and automatically
it will power off.
Your UHF2100 can detect the battery charge in 4 levels;
Battery charge at high level.
Battery charge at medium level.
Battery charge at low level. At this level, the radio will emit
a “beep” sound for every 10 seconds in standby mode.
TIP: At this stage, you need to recharge the unit at
once, otherwise the battery will run down totally.
Battery charge at very low level. When the battery level
reaches its minimum level, the unit will emit two beep tones
and automatically turn off the power.

CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by
an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries
according to the instructions.
