4 Safety instructions
4.1 General
Please read carefully through the following information concerning safety and proper use.
Make yourself familiar with all functions of the device. Keep this manual on a safe place for
future use.
4.2 Burning injuries
• If the cover of the antenna is damaged, do not touch because when an antenna comes
in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result when transmitting.
• Batteries can cause property damage such as burns if conductive material such as
jewellery, keys or beaded chains touches exposed terminals.The material may complete
an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any
charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse or other container
with metal objects.
Restriction:
Check the local regulations before using it outside the country
where it was purchased. The standard may be prohibited in this
country.

4.3 Personal safety
• Do not place your device in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
Air bags inflate with great force. If a communicator is placed in the bag deployment area
and the air bag inflates, the communicator may be propelled with great force and cause
serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
• Keep the radio at least 15 centimetres away from a pacemaker.
• Turn your radio OFF as soon as interference is taking place with medical equipment.
• Do not replace batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may
occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.
• Turn your communicator off when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
• Never throw batteries in fire as they may explode.
4.4 Poisoning danger
• Keep batteries away from small children
4.5 Legal
• In some countries it is prohibited to use your PMR while driving a vehicle. In this case
leave the road before using the device.
• Turn your unit OFF when on board an aircraft when instructed to do so. Any use of the
unit must be in accordance with airline regulations or crew instructions.
• Turn your unit OFF in any facilities where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals
or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
• Replacing or modifying the antenna may affect the PMR radio specifications and violate
the CE regulations. Unauthorised antennas could also damage the radio.
4.6 Notes
• Do not touch the antenna while transmitting, it could affect the range.
• Remove the battery if the device is not going to be used for a long period.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include fuelling areas such as
below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or particles,
such as grain, dust or metal powders; and any other area where
you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

5 Cleaning and maintenance
• To clean the unit, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water. Don’t use a cleaner or
solvents on the unit; they can damage the case and leak inside, causing permanent
damage.
• Battery contacts may be wiped with a dry lint-free cloth.
• If the unit gets wet, turn it off and remove the batteries immediately. Dry the battery
compartment with a soft cloth to minimize potential water damage. Leave the cover off
the battery compartment overnight or until completely dry. Do not use the unit until
completely dry.
6 Disposal of the device
At the end of the product lifecycle, you should not throw this product into the
normal household garbage but bring the product to a collection point for the re-
cycling of electrical and electronic equipments. The symbol on the product,
user guide and/or box indicate this.
Some of the product materials can be re-used if you bring them to a recycling
point. By re-using some parts or raw materials from used products you make an important
contribution to the protection of the environment.
Please contact your local authorities in case you need more information on the collection
points in your area.
7 Using a PMR device
To communicate between PMR devices they need to be set all on the same channel and
within receiving range (up to max. 3 km in open field). Since these devices use free frequency
bands (channels), all devices in operation share these channels(total 8 channels). Therefore,
privacy is not garanteed. Anybody with a PMR set to your channel can overhear the conver-
sation. If you want to communicate (transmitting a voice signal) you need to press the -
button.
Once this button pressed, the device will go into transmit mode and you can speak into the
microphone. All other PMR devices in range , on the same channel and in standby mode (not
transmitting) will hear your message. You need to wait until the other party stops transmitting
before you can reply to the message. At the end of each transmission the unit will send a
beep. To reply, just press the -button and speak into the microphone.
PT
T
PTT
If 2 or more users press the - button at the same time the
receiver will receive only the stongest signal and the other signal
(s) will be supressed. Therefore you should only transmit a
signal (press - button) when the channel is free.
