SAFETY TRANING INFORMATION

This Radio has been tested and complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF
exposure limits for Occupational Use/Controlled exposure environment. In addition, it complies with the
following Standards and Guidelines:

- FCC　96-326, Guidelines for Evaluating the Environmental Effects of Radio-Frequency Radiation.

- FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 (1997) Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for
Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.

- ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3kHz to 300 GHz.

- ANSI/IEEE C95.3-1992, IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous
Electromagnetic Fields-RF and Microwave.

WARNING:

This 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.

CAUTION:

To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational
use, always adhere to the following guidelines:

- This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an uncontrolled environment. This

radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where the radio operator
must have the knowledge to control its RF exposure conditions.

- When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5
cm) away from your mouth and keep the antenna at least 1 inch (2.5cm) away from your head and
body.

- The radio must be used with a maximum operating duty cycle not exceeding 50 %, in typical
Push-to-Talk (PTT) configurations.
DO NOT transmit 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 red LED on the top of the radio is illuminated. You can cause
the radio to transmit by pressing the PTT button.

- DO NOT transmit when the radio is used in Body Worn configuration with the following accessory:
belt-clip (CLIP-14).
It must be used ONLY for (1) there is a 4 cm distance from the body during transmitting, (2)
monitoring purposes, using the speaker only and (3) for carrying purposes.

- Always use Standard Horizon authorized accessories.

The information listed above provides the user with the information needed to make him or her aware of RF
exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates with the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

During transmissions, this 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,
health care facilities, aircraft, and blasting sites.

3. CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

NOTE: This section defines each control of the transceiver. For detailed operating
instructions refer to section 4 of this manual. Refer to Figure 1 for the location of the
following controls, indicators, and connections.

3.1 CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS

1.

POWER SWITCH/VOLUME CONTROL

Turn the transceiver on and off, and adjusts the volume.

2.

SQ (SQUELCH CONTROL) SWITCH

Set the point at which random noise on the channel does not activate the audio circuits
but a received signal does. This point is called the Squelch threshold. Further adjustment
of the squelch control will degrade the reception of wanted transmissions.

3.

PUSH-TO-TALK (PTT) SWITCH

Activates transmission.

4. UP KEY
Selects the desired channel. Each press increases the channel number. When held down,
the channels increase continuously.

5.

DOWN

Selects the desired channel. Each press decreases the channel number. When held down,
the channels decrease continuously.

6.

16/9

Immediately recalls channel 16 from any channel location. Holding down this key recalls
channel 9.

7.

SCAN

Starts scanning programmed channels. Press this key for at least 1 second to turn on and
off priority scan (scanning of programmed channels and priority channel) during scan.

8.

PRESET

Immediately recalls one of up to five user preset memories for operation. Pressing this
key repeatedly to select the desired preset memory.

9. WX KEY
Immediately recalls a weather channel from any channel location. Recalls the previous
channel when the WX key is pressed again.
Holding this key to toggles the mode between USA, International, and Canadian.

10.
Memorizes the selected channel. Holding this key deletes the memorized channel.

11.
Toggles the between high, mid, and low power. To change from low power to mid or high
power, hold down this key on Canadian channel 13, USA channel 13 or 67.
