General notes

Please read this manual carefully and completely to make yourself familiar with the vari­ous functions of your radio set. Make sure to observe the safety instructions to avoid any
danger for you and other persons as well as damage to the radio set. Keep the operating
instructions in a safe place. Be sure to hand over the instructions in case you lend out or
sell the radio sets.

The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage and consequential damage caused
by the nonobservance of these instructions!

Safety warnings

Persons with cardiac pacemakers are generally advised not to use radio sets! No transmission in
immediate proximity to persons with cardiac pacemakers.

Do not touch the antenna during the transmission; do not hold it close to your body, especially not
close to the face or the eyes. When using a headset be sure not to turn the volume of your radio
set too high: otherwise the noise might damage your hearing.

Do not operate the radio sets neither in an aircraft nor in a hospital or in comparable facilities.
Switch off the radio sets, if you are in explosive-prone environment (e. g. petrol station). Make sure
not to change the battery pack/the battery in those places.

When using the radio set in a vehicle be sure to comply with the national regulations! In some
countries it is forbidden to use a radio set while driving a vehicle! In a vehicle equipped with an
airbag you must not operate or store the radio sets neither directly above the airbag nor in the

ination zone of the airbag.

Never open the housing of a radio set or its accessories and do not carry out any modication.
Ensure that any repair is carried out by qualied personnel only. Modications of or interventions

in the radio set automatically lead to an expiry of the type approval, moreover it voids all warranty
claims!

Prevent children from playing with the radio sets, accessories, batteries or the packing material.

If you state the odour emissions or the formation of smoke, immediately switch off the radio set
and remove the battery pack/the batteries. Do not operate the radio set, if you detect any damage

of the housing or the antenna. Contact a qualied workshop.

4

Protect your radio sets and the accessories against moistness, heat, dust and strong vibrations.
Avoid operating temperatures below -10°C or above +50°C. Do not expose the radio sets to direct
sunlight for a prolonged period (e.g. rear window shelf in the vehicle). Do not employ the radio
sets in the rain: however, if the radio set has become wet, switch it off immediately, take out the
battery pack/the batteries and dry it by means of a soft, lint-free cloth. Only employ the radio set, if
it is completely dry.

Never throw the battery packs/batteries into the re! Never short-out the contacts of the battery

pack!

Important information

stabo freecomm 450 is a PMR 446-radio set for voice radio over short distances.

The radio standard PMR 446 is assigned in AT, BE, CH, DE, DK, ES, FI, FR, GB, GR, IE,
HR, HU, NL, NO, PL, PT, SE, SI (free of charge and without any registration).

There is obligatory registration in IT: Italian residents have to pay a nonrecurring charge
upon registration of the radio set! (Tourists may use their radio sets free of charge for the
duration of their stay in Italy.)

For information on national regulations concerning the use of radio sets on travels abroad
please contact the embassies/consulates of the corresponding countries or you may get the
information from the corresponding telecoms and postal regulator.

PMR 446-radio sets transmit/receive on 8 specied channels (446 MHz). Within the radius of

reach (max. 5 km) you can communicate via an optional number of radio sets, however, only

one person can talk and the other/s listen. Uncoded voice radio links are not condential!

The range is a function of many factors. Apart from the statutory transmitting power other fac­tors are relevant: e.g. the position of the antenna (it should be installed at right angle and send
freely), the energy supply (fully charged battery packs fully exploit the reach) and above all the
environment where you transmit. Each “obstacle” (hills, buildings, trees) reduces the range;
some materials (e.g. reinforced concrete, pieces of rock) give rise for considerable screening
effects. Under optimum conditions (i.e. unobstructed view, e.g. in the open country, during sail­ing or paragliding) PMR 446 radio sets have a maximum reach of 5 km. In housing areas a
range of 1–2 km is realistic, in strongly screened environment (e.g. in the mountains or inside
buildings made of reinforced concrete) the reach may drop to a few hundred metres or less.
