4.1General

Please read carefully through the following information concerning safety and proper use. Make yourself familiar with all functions of the device. Keep this manual on a safe place for future use.

4.2Burning injuries

If the cover of the antenna is damaged, do not touch because when an antenna comes in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result when transmitting.

Batteries can cause property damage such as burns if conductive material such as jewellery, keys or beaded chains touches exposed terminals.The material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse or other container with metal objects.

4.3Personal safety

Do not place your device in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a communicator is placed in the bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the communicator may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.

Keep the radio at least 15 centimetres away from a pacemaker.

Turn your radio OFF as soon as interference is taking place with medical equipment.

Do not replace batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.

Turn your communicator off when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Never throw batteries in fire as they may explode.

Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fuelling areas such as below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

4.4Poisoning danger

Keep batteries away from small children

4.5Legal

In some countries it is prohibited to use your PMR while driving a vehicle. In this case leave the road before using the device.

Turn your unit OFF when on board an aircraft when instructed to do so. Any use of the unit must be in accordance with airline regulations or crew instructions.

Turn your unit OFF in any facilities where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

Replacing or modifying the antenna may affect the PMR radio specifications and violate the CE regulations. Unauthorised antennas could also damage the radio.

4.6Notes

Do not touch the antenna while transmitting, it could affect the range.

Remove the battery if the device is not going to be used for a long period.

7 Using a PMR device

 

To communicate between PMR devices they need to be set all on the same channel and

 

within receiving range (up to max. 9 km in open field). Since these devices use free frequency

 

bands (channels), all devices in operation share these channels(total 8 channels). Therefore,

 

privacy is not garanteed. Anybody with a PMR set to your channel can overhear the

 

conversation. If you want to communicate (transmitting a voice signal) you need to press the

 

PTT

 

-button.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once this button pressed, the device will go into transmit mode and you can speak into the

 

microphone. All other PMR devices in range , on the same channel and in standby mode (not

 

transmitting) will hear your message. You need to wait until the other party stops transmitting

 

before you can reply to the message. At the end of each transmission the unit will send a

 

beep. To reply, just press the

PTT -button and speak into the microphone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If 2 or more users press the

PTT

- button at the same time the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

receiver will receive only the stongest signal and the other signal

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(s) will be supressed. Therefore you should only transmit a

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

signal (press

 

PTT

- button) when the channel is free.
