When a narrowband radio receives a transmission from an older wideband radio the speech
may sound loud and distorted – simply adjust your radio volume for the best listening
performance. When an older wideband radio receives a signal from a new narrowband
radio the speech may sound quieter - simply adjust your radio volume for best listening
performance. When operating a narrowband radio or Channel 41 - 80 interference is possible
from wideband radios transmitting on high power or on adjacent frequency.
The issues described above are not a fault of the radio but a consequence of mixed use of
wideband and narrowband radios.
This unit complies with all relevant Australian and New Zealand approval
requirements AS/NZS 4365:2011 including radio communications
(Electromagnetic Radiation Human Exposure) standard 2003.

WARNING
Safety Information and Warnings
Read all these Safety Warnings before you
install batteries.
• Do not dispose of the batteries in a re as they
may explode.
• Exercise extreme care when handling batteries
in order not to short the battery with conducting
materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. The
battery or conduction material may overheat
explode and or cause burns.
• Never replace batteries in a potentially explosive
atmosphere (such as where gas is leaking) as
contact sparking may occur while installing or
removing the batteries and cause a fire or an
explosion.
• Do not modify, cut, disassemble, crush, bend,
puncture, heat or damage the batteries
• If batteries leak, do not let the battery liquid touch
skin or eyes. If this happens, immediately flush
the affected areas with water, and seek medical
assistance. Released electrolyte is corrosive and
may cause damage to the eyes and skin. It may be
toxic if swallowed.
• Do not immerse or expose the batteries to water or
other liquids.
• Never use damaged batteries as they may explode.
• Remove batteries when they are no longer able to
hold a charge and when the equipment will not be
used for an extended period of time.
• Dispose of batteries according to local regulations,
never in your household rubbish.

Safety Information and Warnings
WARNING:
WARNING
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect
type.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
injury or even death.
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.
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.

WARNING
Safety Information and Warnings
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your Oricom two-way radio complies with Australian
Communications Authority Radio communications
(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.
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).
Always hold the radio approximately 5cm in front
of your mouth with the antenna pointing away from
your head.

and are not available for use.
Channel 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 channels 5 and 35.
