GMR535-2

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC

Rules. Operation is subject to the following two

conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.

(2) This device must accept any interference

received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

Important: Changes or modifications to this unit

not expressly approved by Uniden could void your

authority to operate this unit. Your radio is set up

to transmit a regulated signal on an assigned

frequency. It is against the law to alter or adjust the

settings inside the radio to exceed those limitations.

Any adjustments to your radio must be made by

qualified technicians.

To be safe and sure:

• Never open your radio’s case.

• Never change or replace anything in your radio

except the batteries.

Your radio might cause TV or radio interference

even when it is operating properly. To determine

whether your radio is causing the interference, turn

it off. If the interference goes away, your radio is

causing it. Try to eliminate the interference by

moving your radio away from the receiver. If you

cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires

that you stop using the radio.

Hazardous Environments: Do not operate the

radio in hazardous environments. Explosion or fire

may result. Do not operate the radio near

unshielded electrical blasting caps.

Under certain conditions, radios can interfere with

blasting operations and may cause an explosion.

Turn your radio OFF to prevent accidental

transmission when in a blasting area or in areas

posted: "Turn off two-way radio." Construction

crews often use remote control RF devices to set

off explosives.

Care and Safety: To clean the radio, use a soft

cloth dampened with water. Do not use cleaners or

solvents because they can harm the body of the

unit and leak inside, causing permanent damage.

Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the battery

contacts. Do not submerge the unit in water. If the

unit gets wet, turn it off and remove the batteries

immediately.

Dry the battery compartment with a soft cloth to

minimize potential water damage. Leave the battery

compartment cover off overnight to ensure

complete drying. Do not use the radio until the unit

is completely dry.

Important: Evidence of original purchase is

required for warranty service.

ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTYFCC INFORMATION

WARNING! Read this information before using

the radio

In August 1996 the Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) of the United States with its

action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted

an updated safety standard for human exposure to

radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by

FCC regulated transmitters.

Those guidelines are consistent with the safety

standard previously set by both U.S. and

international standards bodies. The design of the

radio complies with the FCC guidelines and these

international standards.

Never allow children to operate the radio without

adult supervision and the knowledge of the

following guidelines.

WARNING! It is up to the user to properly operate

this radio transmitter to insure safe operation.

Please adhere to the following:

Use only the supplied or an approved antenna.

Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or

attachments could impair call quality, damage the

radio, or result in violation of FCC regulations.

Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna. If a

damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin,

a minor burn may result. Please contact your local

dealer for a replacement antenna.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn

operations using the supplied belt-clip.

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure

requirements, Body-worn operations are restricted

to the supplied belt-clip.

For hand-held operation, the radio should be held

1 inch from the user's face. The use of accessories

that do not satisfy these requirements may not

comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and

should be avoided.

For more information about RF exposure, please

visit the FCC web site at www.fcc.gov.
