Battery Information

Charging the Battery

Your radio is powered by a Lithium-Ion (Lilon) battery. To avoid damage and comply

with warranty terms, charge the battery

using only an original RCA charger, exactly as described in the charger user guide. When the charger’s LED illuminates red,

it is an indication that the battery is being

correctly charged. When the LED illuminates green, the battery charge is complete. Note: Charge a new battery 12 to 14 hours before initial use for best performance. Maximum battery capacity is normally achieved af ter tw o or th r e e full charge / discharge cy c l e s.

Image C

Caution:

To reduce the risk of injury, use only batteries specied by RCA Communications Systems.

- To avoid risk of personal injury, do not dispose of batteries in a re.

- Dispose of batteries according to local

recycling regulations. Do not dispose as household waste.

- Never attempt to disassemble the battery.

- When charging a battery, keep it at a

temperature between 41°F ~ 104°F (5°C ~ 40°C) to ensure a full charge. Temperatures outside this range signicantly reduce

Prodigi

RDR2000 Series Professional Digital Two-Way Radio Instruction Manual

battery life. The operating time (talk-time

and standby time) is noticeably shorter than

normal, replace the battery.

- Before charging a battery attached to a radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full

charge. Never leave a radio on while in the

charger, as it can damage both the battery and the radio; the charger is not a radio

stand.

- Do not cut off the power supply or remove battery while charging.

- Never charge a battery that is wet. Dry it with soft cloth prior charging.

- The battery will eventually weaken. When the operating time (talk-time and standby time) becomes noticeably shorter than

normal, replace the battery.

- Battery performance greatly decreases at temperatures below -4°F (-20°C). Having

a spare battery is always necessary in

extremely cold environments. A cold

battery may work again when it returns to

room temperature, so keep it for later use.

- Dust on the battery contact may cause the

battery not to work or charge properly. Use

a clean dry cloth to wipe it before attaching

the battery to the radio.

- Batteries with damaged contacts can be extremely dangerous. Any battery with

damage to one or more contacts should be replaced immediately and not used under

any circumstances.

Battery Storage

1. Fully charge a battery before storing it for an extended period of time to avoid battery damage due to over-discharge.

2. Recharge a battery after three months storage to avoid reduced battery capacity due to over-discharge.

3. When storing a battery, keep it in a dry place at room temperature.

Prodigi

RDR2000 Series Professional Digital Two-Way Radio Instruction Manual

RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions

To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures.

Guidelines:

Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.

User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users. Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.

Operating Instructions:

Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the PushTo-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button.

The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification for use at the face is 1.11 W/kg and when properly worn the the body is 3.84W/kg, This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0 cm. must be maintained between the user’s body and the interphone,including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories used by this device should not contain any metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with RF exposure requirements and should be avoided.

Prodigi

RDR2000 Series Professional Digital Two-Way Radio Instruction Manual

Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance). Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of face with the microphone (and the other parts of the radio, including the antenna) at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from the nose. Keeping the radio at the proper distance is important because RF exposures decrease with distance from the antenna. Antenna should be kept away from eyes.

When worn on the body, always place the radio in a approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product.

Using approved body-worn accessories is important because the use of or other manufacturer’s non-approved accessories may result in exposure levels, which exceed the FCC’s occupational/ controlled environment RF exposure limits.

If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using the radio in the intended use position in front of the face, then ensure the antenna and the radio are kept at least 2.5 cm (one inch) from the body when transmitting. Keeping the radio at the proper distance is important because RF exposures decrease with increasing distance from the antenna.

Use only RCA Communications Systems approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and accessories. Use of non-manufacturer-nameapproved antennas, batteries, and accessories may exceed the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
