SAFETY INFORMATION
Your portable contains a low power transmitter. Then the Push-to-Talk button is pushed
it sends out radio frequency signals. The device is authorized to operate at a duty factor
not to exceed 50%. In august 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held devices USE only the
supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage
the transceiver and may violate FCC regulations.
CAUTION! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is very close to, or
touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The
transceiver will perform the best if the microphone is 2 to 4 in (5 to 10 cm) away from
the lips and the transceiver is held in the vertical position.
NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume
levels.
NEVER short the battery terminals.
NEVER press the PTT key unless transmitting.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures
below +14 F (-10 C) or above +122 F (+50 C). The basic operations, transmit, receive
are guaranteed within the specified operating temperature range.
DO NOT modify the transceiver for any reason
SAFETY INFORMATION
Your transceiver generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio
is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only” meaning it must be used
during the course of employment by individuals aware of hazards, ant the techniques to
minimize such hazards. This radio in NOT intended to be used by the General Public,
and in an uncontrolled environment.
This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for
“Occupational Use Only”. The radio also complies with the following standards
regarding to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels
for exposure to humans:
• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance
with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields.
• American national Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard for
Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields, 3kHz to 3000 GHz.
3
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recommended
Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic
Fields- RF and Microwave.
TO ENSURE THAT YOUR EXPOSURE TO RF ELECTROMAGNETIC
ENERGY IS WITHIN THE FCC ALLOWABLE LIMITS FOR OCCUPATIONAL
USE, ALWAYS ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
• Do not operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may cause
damage to the radio as well as cause the RF exposure to exceed the FCC
limits. The proper antenn is supplied with the radio, do not use any other
antenna not approved by the manufacturer.
• Do not transmit more than 50% of the total radio use time. Transmitting more
than the recommended 50% can cause FCC RF exposure requirements to be
exceeded. The radio transmits when the PTT switch is pushed and the RED
TX LED (indicator) is illuminated.
• Always use SmartComm USA authorized accessories (antennas, batteries,
speaker microphones, belt clips, etc). Use of any unauthorized accessories
can cause the RF exposure to exceed the FCC limits.
• Always keep the antenna at least 1cm (3/8 in) away from the body when
transmitting to ensure that the FCC exposure limits are not exceeded. To
ensure the best signal quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 in) from the
mouth and slightly to one side.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE / COMPATIBILITY
During transmissions the radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference
with other systems or devices. To avoid such interference never operate the radio in RX
or TX where signs are posted not to use transceivers. Do not use the radio in areas that
are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. Some examples of these locations are
hospitals, blasting sites and airports.

INTRODUCTION
SCV08 and SCU08 are 8-Channel, State of the Art, and Synthesized Portable FM
Transceivers. The SCV08 operates in the 136-174 MHz VHF band. The SCU08B
operates in the 450-480 MHz UHF band.
The SCU08 operates in the UHF band with a 4 or 1 Watt RF power output. The SCV08
operates in the VHF band with a 5 or 1 Watt RF power output.
The Unit features the following:
Built In DCS Decoder/Encoder
Built In CTCSS Tone Decoder/Encoder
Busy Channel Lockout Per Channel
The Transceivers can store up to 8 channels of programmed information without the need
for a Battery back up.
The radio has been programmed by the dealer. A list of channel information and radio
configuration should be available from the dealer

INSTALLATION
BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
A. To attach the battery, align the grooves on the battery case with those on the Unit
and slide it into place until a “snap” is heard indicating that the battery is locked
into position.
B. To remove the battery, press UP on the Release Button and slowly pull the battery
OFF.
ANTENNA INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
The SCV08 uses a RDSCV antenna; the SCU08 uses a RDSCU antenna.
A. To install the antenna, carefully place it on the TNC type antenna connector located
on the top of the radio. Turn the antenna clockwise until it is firmly attached.
B. To remove the antenna, turn the antenna counter-clockwise until it can be lifted
away from the radio.
