REGULATORY Information

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Important: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate this device. Your radio is set up to transmit a regulated signal on an assigned frequency. It is
against the law to alter or adjust the settings inside the radio to exceed those limitations. Any adjustments to your radio
must be made by qualified technicians.

To be safe and sure:

• Never open your radio’s case.

• Never change or replace anything in your radio except the battery.

Your radio might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To determine whether
Your radio is causing the interference, turn it off. If the interference goes away, your radio is causing it.
Try to eliminate the interference by moving your radio away from the receiver. If you cannot eliminate the interference, the
FCC requires that you stop using the radio.
Hazardous Environments: Do not operate the radio in hazardous environments. Explosion or fire may result.
Do not operate the radio near unshielded electrical blasting caps.
Under certain conditions, radios can interfere with blasting operations and may cause an explosion. Turn your radio OFF to
prevent accidental transmission when in a blasting area or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio." Construction crews
often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.

RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION

WARNING! Read this information before using the radio. In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of

the United States with its action in Report and Order
FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human
Exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters.

Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and
International standards bodies. The design of the radio complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Never allow children to operate the radio without adult supervision and the knowledge of the following guidelines.
WARNING! It is up to the user to properly operate this radio transmitter to insure safe operation. Please adhere to the
following:
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
Attachments could impair call quality, damage the radio, or result in violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna.
If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for a
replacement antenna.
WARNING! This EUT is compliance with SAR for controlled exposure limits in IC RSS-102 and had been tested in accordance
with the measurement methods and procedures specified in IEEE 1528 and IEC 62209. This equipment should be installed
and operated with a minimum distance of 2.5cm must be maintained when held-to-face, and body-worn operations are
restricted to the approve doriginal acessories.
Cet EUT est conforme aux normes SAR pour les limites d’exposition contrôlée de la norme IC RSS-102 et a été testé
conformément aux méthodes et procédures de mesure spécifiées dans les normes IEEE 1528 et IEC 62209. Cet équipement
doit être installé et utilisé à une distance minimale de 2,5 cm. être maintenu face à face, et les opérations portées sur le

Hand-held Operation (Held-to-Face)

This device was evaluated for typical hand-held (held-toface) operations with a 1 inch spacing from the front of the radio.
For hand-held operation, the radio should be held 1 inch from the user's face inorder to comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements. For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC web site at www.fcc.gov.

Body-worn Operation

This device was evaluated for body-worn operations with the supplied belt-clip accessory. (All necessary accessories are
included in the package; any additional or optional accessories are not required for compliance with the guidelines.) Third
party accessories (unless approved by the manufacturer) should be avoided as these might not comply with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC web site at www.fcc.gov.

Attention:
This radio complieswith IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure emvironment
at operating duty factors of up to 50% and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use only. An appropriate
warning lable is affixed to all units. In order to comply with RF exposure requirements, a minimum distance of

2.5 cm must be maintained when held-to-face, and body-worn operations are restricted to the approved original

acessories (belt clip), a minimum distance of 2.5 cm. Do not use this device when antenna shows obvious damages.

Attention:

As for all the electronically devices, we recommend you to follow this few suggestions:

• Do not attempt to open the unit. Non-expert handling of the unit may damage it and/or annul the warranty.

• When using regulated power supply, take notice of power voltage that must be 5V to avoid damages.

• High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, and warp or melt certain plastics. Do not store the radio in

dusty or dirty areas.

• Keep the Radio dry. Rainwater or damp will corrode electronic circuits.

• If it appears that the Radio diffuses peculiar smell or smoke, please shut off its power immediately and take off the

charger or battery from the Radio.

• Do not transmit without antenna.

• To clean the radio, use a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use cleaners or solvents because they can harm the body

of the unit and leak inside, causing permanent damage.

• Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the battery contacts.

• Any attempt to change frequencies or output power of the radio invalidates the approval.
