Safety Information for Radios

Your wireless handheld portable transceiver contains a low power 

transmitter. When the talk button is pushed, it sends out radio 

frequency (RF) signals. The device is authorized to operate at a 

duty factor not to exceed 50%. In August 1996, the Federal 

Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure 

guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless devices.

Important

FCC RF Exposure Requirements: For body-worn operation, this 

radio has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines 

when used with accessories supplied or designated for this product. 

Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF 

exposure guidelines. Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized 

antennas, modifications or attachments could damage the 

transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.

Normal Position

Hold the transmitter approximately 25 mm from your face and 

speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away.

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury 

such as burns if a conductive material touches exposed 

terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical 

circuit (short circuit) and become hot.

• Exercise care when removing NiMH or AA batteries. Do not 

use  sharp or conductive tools to remove these batteries.

• Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly 

when placing it inside a pocket or enclosed container with 

metal objects.

• Do not discard your battery in a fire.

• Do not replace the battery in any area labeled “Hazardous 

Atmosphere”. Any sparks created in a potentially explosive  

atmosphere can cause explosion or fire.

• Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, shred or otherwise 

attempt to change the form of your battery.

• Do not dry a wet battery or damp battery with an appliance 

or heat source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven.

• If the radio battery contact area has been submerged in 

water,  dry and clean the battery contacts before attaching 

the battery  to the radio.

• Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries

WARNING

3. Attempting to alter or replace the antenna will affect 

performance and void the warranty.

4. DO NOT use any portable radio that has a damaged 

antenna.  If  a damaged antenna comes into contact with 

your skin, a minor  burn can result.
