FCC NOTICE
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Regulations. Operation is subject to the following
conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference.
• 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
XACT Communication could void your right to operate this unit. Your COMMUNICATOR
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 COMMUNICATOR to exceed those limitations. Any
adjustment to your COMMUNICATOR must be made by qualified technicians.
TO BE SAFE AND SURE
• Never open your COMMUNICATOR’s case.
• Never change or replace anything in your COMMUNICATOR except the battery.
Your COMMUNICATOR may interfere with TVs or radios, even when operating properly.
To determine whether your COMMUNICATOR is causing interference, simply turn it off. If
the interference ends, your COMMUNICATOR is causing it. Try to eliminate interference
by moving your COMMUNICATOR away from the receiver. If you cannot eliminate
interference completely, the FCC requires that you terminate COMMUNICATOR use.
Hazardous Environments: Do not operate the COMMUNICATOR in hazardous
environments explosion or fire may result. Do not operate the COMMUNICATOR near
unshielded electrical blasting caps. Under certain conditions, COMMUNICATORS can
interfere with blasting operations and may cause an explosion. Turn your
COMMUNICATOR to the OFF position to prevent accidental transmission when in a
blasting area or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radios." Construction crews often use
remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
CARE AND SAFETY
To clean your COMMUNICATOR, use a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use
cleaners or solvents; 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 battery 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 COMMUNICATOR until the unit is completely dry.

Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When the
Push-to-Talk (PTT/CALL) button is pushed it sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. This
devise 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 wireless devices.
Important Note: To maintain compliance with the FCC's RF exposure guidelines, hold the
transmitter and ANTENNA at least 2 inches (5 centimeters) from your face and speak in a
normal voice, with the ANTENNA pointed away from the face.
Use only the supplied ANTENNA. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments
could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.
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, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

GETTING STARTED
Battery Level and Low Battery Operation
In WATCH and COMMUNICATOR mode the Low Battery Level icon will not appear on the
display unless the unit detects that the BATTERY LEVEL is low.
The unit has a LOW BATTERY LEVEL icon which will blink when it detects a low
BATTERY level in COMMUNICATOR mode and/or WATCH mode. When the unit is in
COMMUNICATOR mode and the BATTERY LEVEL is low, the icon will blink for
approximately five (5) minutes and then the COMMUNICATOR will automatically change
to WATCH mode. The COMMUNICATOR BATTERY should be recharged at this time,
however, the COMMUNICATOR will continue to function in WATCH mode for 1 hour. If
the LCD Screen goes blank, the COMMUNICATOR will not operate until the BATTERY has
been recharged for 12 hours.
If you change the battery with a fully charged spare battery, instead of charging the battery
in the COMMUNICATOR, you will need to press and hold the POWER/MENU button for 1
second to start WATCH mode, the LCD Screen will remain blank if you do not.
