FEATURES

-3-

Your transceiver will achieve its maximum operating range when communicating with

other transceivers in a flat open area with no trees or buildings obstructing its signal.

Range may be up to two miles under such conditions. Obstacles such as buildings,

trees or mountains will tend to reduce the transceiver’s effective range.

FCCWARNING

Replacement or substitution of transistors, diodes or other parts of a unique nature, with

parts other than those recommended by the manufacturer, may cause a violation of the

technical regulations of Part 15 of FCC Rules.

SAFETYINFORMATION

Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When

the PTT 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 hand-held wireless devices.

Important: To maintain compliance with the FCC’ s RF exposure guidelines hold the

transmitter at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your face and speak in a normal voice,

with the antenna pointed up and away. If you wear the handset on your body while using

the headset accessory, use only the Audiovox supplied belt clip for this product and

ensure that the antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body when

transmitting. 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 1” from your face and speak

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

Powering the unit:

Your radio transceiver operates on four AAA batteries. Alkaline batteries will

provide slightly better performance than rechargeable batteries. Only Audiovox

approved rechargeable batteries can be recharged in the radio transceiver using

the optional charger. This will ensure optimum performance for your radio. Use of

the Audiovox charger with other brands of batteries is not recommended as battery

charging times will vary. Refer to the manufacturerer’s instructions for charging

other brands of batteries.

Batteries

There are three methods of powering the unit:

1.Alkaline Batteries.

2.Audiovox Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries - (Rechargeable Ni-MH

batteries and Charging Stand not included). Use only Audiovox

approved rechargeable batteries and charger when charging

batteries internal to the unit.

NOTE: To extend battery life, avoid overcharging the batteries.

3. Various Brands of Rechargeable Batteries - Use of the

Audiovox charger with other brands of rechargeable batteries is not

recommended, as battery charging times will vary with different

brands of batteries.Refer to the manufacturers’s instructions for

charging other brands of batteries.

The following guidelines will improve performance and provide longer oper-

ating times for your radio:

1. Do not mix old and new batteries.

2. The use of alkaline-type batteries is recommended to provide the longest oper

ating time.

3. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable batteries.

4. If the unit is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the

batteries. Old or leaking batteries can cause damage to the unit and will void

the FR-541 will transmit a 3-second ringing sound to other transceiver’s tuned to

the same channel. This feature can be used to signal other parties that voice

communication is desired.

vated for 5 seconds.

Function (F) Select Button (12)

Pressing this button will allow selection of frequency channels as well as selec-

tion of the various unit functions. Each press permits selection of the desired

channel (1–14), Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS), beep tone,

The CTCSS provides 38 Sub-Frequencies to allow you to utilize the coded squelch

tones (00–38). In order to communicate with another party on the same main

channel and the same subcode must be used. This filters out unwanted trans-

missions without the same coded squelch tone. Since there are 38 CTCSS Sub-

channels for each main channel, a different subcode may be selected for each of

the 14 channels.

To change the CTCSS Sub-channel,

- Press the Function (F) button twice or until the sub-channel number to the

right of the main channel number begins flashing.

- Then press the Up or Down button to select the desired sub-channel for

use.

ber CTCSS icon and using the Up or Down button to select 00 as the tone code

frequency; then press monitor again.
