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.

1. GETTING STARTED
1.1 Regulations and Safety Warnings
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: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate this device. 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 except the battery.
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 unit and leak inside, causing permanent damage. Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the battery contacts.

GMRS Communication
This GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) feature is a land-mobile service available for short-distance, two-way
communications in the USA. You must have a valid FCC license to communicate on these channels. The GMRS
frequencies that radio this radio uses are set aside for communicating with others while hiking, biking, and working; keeping
track of family and friends at a crowded public event; checking with travel companions in another car; talking with neighbors;
arranging meeting spots with others while shopping at the mall. Licensed users will be issued a call sign by the FCC, which
should be used for station identification when operating this radio. GMRS users should also cooperate by engaging in
permissible transmissions only, avoiding channel interference with other GMRS users, and being prudent with the length of
their transmission time.
FCC License Required
This two-way radio operates on GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) frequencies which require an FCC (Federal
Communications Commission) license. A user must be licensed prior to transmitting on the GMRS band with this radio.
Serious penalties could result for unlicensed use of GMRS channels, in violation of FCC rules. Operation of this radio is
subject to additional rules specified in 47 C.F.R. Part 95. For licensing information and application forms, please call the FCC
Hotline at 800418-FORM. Request form #159 and form #605. Questions regarding the license application should be directed
to the FCC at 888-CALL-FCC. Additional information is available on the FCC’s website at www.fcc.gov.
Replacement or substitution of transistors, regular diodes or other parts of a unique nature, with parts other than those
recommended by our company may cause a violation of the technical regulations of part 95 of the FCC rules, or violation of
type acceptance requirements of part 2 of the rules.

1.3 Maintenance
Your Two Way Radio is an electronic product of exact design and should be treated with care.
The suggestions below will help you to fulfill any warranty obligations and to enjoy this product for many years.
• Do not attempt to open the radio for any reason! The radio’s precision mechanics and electronics require experience and
specialized equipment; for the same reason, the radio should under no circumstances be realigned as it has already been
calibrated for maximum performance. Unauthorized opening of the transceiver will void the warranty.
• Do not store the Radio under the sunshine or in hot areas.
• High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store the radio in dusty and dirty areas.
• Keep the Radio dry. Rainwater or damp will corrode electronic circuits.

The Li-ion battery pack is not charged at the factory; please charge it before use. Charging the battery pack for the first time
after purchase or extended storage (more than 2 months) may not bring the battery pack to its normal maximum operating
capacity. Best operation will require fully charging/ discharging the battery two or three times before the operating capacity
will reach its best performance. The battery pack life may be depleted when it’s operating time decreases even though it has
been fully and correctly charged. If this is the case, replace the battery pack.
2.2 Charger Supplied
Please use the specified charger provided by our company. Other models may cause explosion and personal injury. After
installing the battery pack, and if the radio displays low battery with a voice prompt, please charge the battery.

a. Do not short the battery terminals or throw the battery into a fire. Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack,
as our company cannot be held responsible for any accident caused by modifying the battery.
b. The ambient temperature should be between 5℃-40℃ (40˚F - 105˚F) while charging the battery. Charging outside this
range may not fully charge the battery.
c. Please turn off the radio before inserting it into the charger. It may otherwise interfere with correct charging.
d. To avoid interfering with the charging cycle, please do not cut off the power or remove the battery during charging until the
green light is on.
