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

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

If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the

skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your

local dealer for a replacement antenna.

operations using the supplied belt-clip, which

typically provides a space of 1 inch from the body.

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.
