1. Safety / Warnings

Notices

◆ Government law restricts the operation of unlicensed radio transmitters

within government controlled territories.

◆ Illegal operation is punishable by fine or imprisonment or both.

◆ Refer service to qualified technicians only.

◆ EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES (GASES, DUST, FUMES, etc.)

Shut OFF the transceiver while refueling or while parked in gasoline service

stations.

Do not carry spare fuel containers in the trunk of your vehicle if your

transceiver is mounted in the trunk area

◆ INJURY FROM RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSIONS

Do not operate your transceiver when somebody is either touching the antenna

or standing within two to three feet of it, to avoid the possibility of radio

frequency burns or related physical injury.

Precautions

Please read carefully the following precautions to prevent fire, personal injury, or

transceiver damage:

 Do not attempt to configure your transceiver while driving, it is

dangerous.

 This transceiver is designed for a 13.8V DC power supply. Don't use a

24V battery including over DC 16V supply to power on the transceiver.

 Do not put the transceiver in excessively dusty, humid or wet areas,

nor unstable surfaces.

 Do not modify the transceiver for any reason.

 Please keep it away from interferential devices (such as TV,

generator, Medical devices etc.)

 Do not expose the transceiver to long periods of direct sunlight nor

place it close to heating appliances.

 If an abnormal odor or smoke is detected coming from the transceiver,

turn OFF the power immediately. Contact an Any tone service station

3

or your dealer.

 Do not transmit with high output power for extended periods; the

transceiver may overheat.

 Do not operate the transceiver when vehicle engine is stopped. The

vehicle engine may not be started due to low battery.

 Do not use incompatible accessories from other manufactures. It

could result in damage and or malfunction to the accessory and or to

the radio.

PREPARATION

Various electronic equipment in your vehicle may malfunction if they are not

properly protected form the radio frequency energy which is present while

transmitting. Typical examples include electronic fuel injection, anti-skid

braking and cruise control. If your vehicle contains such equipment, consult the

dealer for the make of vehicle and enlist his/her aid in determining if they will

perform normally while transmitting

Power Cable Connection

The transceiver operates in 12V negative ground system only! Check the

battery polarity and voltage of vehicle before installing the transceiver.

1. Check for an existing hole, conveniently located in the firewall, where the power cable

can be passed through.

• If no hole exists, use a circle cutter to drill a hole, then install a rubber grommet

2. Run the power cable though the firewall and into the engine compartment.

3. Connect the red lead to the (+) battery terminal and the black lead to the negative (-)

battery terminal

•Place the fuse as close to the battery as possible

4. Coil the surplus cable and secure it with a retaining band.

• Be sure to leave enough slack in the cables so the transceiver can be removed for

servicing while keeping the power applied.

RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY SAFETY INFORMATION

Your radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is

designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only”, meaning it must be used only during

the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such

hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled

environment.

This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for “Occupational

Use Only”. In addition, your XRADIO radio complies with the following Standards and

Guidelines with regard 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, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

■ American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the

Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.

■ The following accessories are authorized for use with this product. Use of accessories other

than those (listed in the instruction) specified may result in RF exposure levels exceeding the

FCC requirements for wireless RF exposure. To ensure that your expose 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 damaged the

radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the

antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or antenna specifically authorized by the

manufacturer for use with this radio.

■ DO NOT transmits for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50%duty cycle”). Transmitting

more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be

exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX indicator” lights red. You can cause the radio

to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.

■ ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 45 cm away from the body when

transmitting

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility During transmissions, your XRADIO radio

generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To

avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT

operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals,

aircraft, and blasting sites. Occupational/Controlled Use The radio transmitter is used in

situations in which persons are exposed as consequence of their employment provided those

persons are fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their

exposure.

Installing the transceiver

For passenger safety, install the transceiver securely using the supplied

mounting bracket and screw set, so the transceiver will not break loose in the

event of a collision.

1. Mark the position of the hole in the dash, using the mounting bracket as a template.

Using a 4.2mm(5/32 inch) drill bit, drill the holes, then attach the mounting bracket

using the supplied screws.

• Mount the transceiver within easy reach of the user and where there is sufficient

space at the rear of the transceiver for cable connections.

2. Connect the antenna and the supplied power cable to the transceiver.

3. Slide the transceiver into the mounting bracket and secure it using the supplied hex-

headed screws.

4. Mount the microphone hanger in a location where it will be within easy reach of the

user.

• The microphone and microphone cable should be mounted in a place where they

will not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.

When replacing the fuse in the DC power cable, be sure to replace it with a

fuse of the same value. Never replace a fuse with one that is rated with a

higher value.

Connecting Microphone

1. Insert the microphone plug into jack on the front panel of the transceiver.

• Be sure the tab on the microphone plug is facing the left hand side.

2. Mount the microphone on the microphone hanger where it will be within easy reach of

the user

3. To remove the microphone plug, press the tab on the connector while pulling the plug

out of the transceiver jack
