This device may not cause harmful interference. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Important: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by XACT Communication could void your right to operate this unit. Your COMMUNICATOR 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 COMMUNICATOR to exceed those limitations. Any adjustment to your COMMUNICATOR must be made by qualified technicians. TO BE SAFE AND SURE Never open your COMMUNICATORs case. Never change or replace anything in your COMMUNICATOR except the battery. Your COMMUNICATOR may interfere with TVs or radios, even when operating properly. To determine whether your COMMUNICATOR is causing interference, simply turn it off. If the interference ends, your COMMUNICATOR is causing it. Try to eliminate interference by moving your COMMUNICATOR away from the receiver. If you cannot eliminate interference completely, the FCC requires that you terminate COMMUNICATOR use. Hazardous Environments: Do not operate the COMMUNICATOR in hazardous environments explosion or fire may result. Do not operate the COMMUNICATOR near unshielded electrical blasting caps. Under certain conditions, COMMUNICATORS can interfere with blasting operations and may cause an explosion. Turn your COMMUNICATOR to the OFF position to prevent accidental transmission when in a blasting area or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radios." Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives. C A R E A N D S A F E T Y To clean your COMMUNICATOR, use a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use cleaners or solvents; 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. Do not submerge the unit in water. If the unit gets wet, turn it off and remove the battery immediately. Dry the BATTERY COMPARTMENT with a soft cloth to minimize potential water damage. Leave the BATTERY COMPARTMENT COVER off overnight to ensure complete drying. Do not use the COMMUNICATOR until the unit is completely dry. 3 X33X Owners Manual (Rev3).qxd 7/16/2003 9:57 AM Page 5 FCC NOTICE Safety Information Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When the Push-to-Talk (PTT/CALL) button is pushed it sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. This devise is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50%. In August 1996, The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless devices. Important Note: To maintain compliance with the FCC's RF exposure guidelines, hold the transmitter and ANTENNA at least 2 inches (5 centimeters) from your face and speak in a normal voice, with the ANTENNA pointed away from the face. Use only the supplied ANTENNA. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations. 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, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 4 X33X Owners Manual (Rev3).qxd 7/16/2003 9:57 AM Page 6 GETTING STARTED Battery Installation:

Press the UP or DOWN button to change channels. BATTERY may be weak. 16 X33X Owners Manual (Rev3).qxd 7/16/2003 9:58 AM Page 18 TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM SOLUTION Range is limited BATTERY may be weak. Recharge BATTERY if the BATTERY LEVEL indicator is low. Range varies depending on terrain and environment. Open fields provide maximum range; steel/concrete structures, heavy foliage, and operation in buildings and in vehicles may significantly limit range. Check the ANTENNA position. For optimum performance make sure the ANTENNA is pointing upright. Sound distortion When transmitting, hold MICROPHONE 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) from mouth and speak normally. When receiving, lower volume to a comfortable level. Communicators must be at least 10 feet apart; increase your distance. Communicators are too far apart. Obstacles interfere with transmission. Talk range is up to 1.5 miles in clear unobstructed conditions. 17 X33X Owners Manual (Rev3).qxd 7/16/2003 9:58 AM Page 19 SPECIFICATIONS Channels Available Operating Frequency Power Source Output Power (TX) Battery Life Range Channel (MHz) and CTCSS Code (Hz) Frequency Chart 22 FRS/GMRS Channels and 38 CTCSS Codes UHF 462.5500 - 467.7125 MHz 3.7v Lithium-Ion Battery (XB10) 0.3W ERP maximum Varies per user About 1.5 Miles Channels 1 thru 14 transmit on FRS frequencies.

Do not use any COMMUNICATOR that has a damaged ANTENNA. If a damaged ANTENNA comes in contact with the skin, a minor burn may occur. Important BATTERY Information:
Only use the battery indicated in this manual. Using another type of battery may substantially reduce operating time. If you dont plan on using your COMMUNICATOR for a month or more, be sure to remove the BATTERY because it may leak and damage the COMMUNICATOR. Dispose of the BATTERY in the proper manner, according to the federal, state, and local regulations that apply to your area. The BATTERY may leak electrolyte if any of the following occurs: if it is mixed with other battery types, if it is inserted incorrectly, if the battery is not replaced, if it is disposed of in a fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be charged. Discard a leaky battery immediately. A leaking battery can cause skin burns or other personal injury. You can purchase additional batteries (see Accessory Order Form), which can be charged using the COMMUNICATOR. ANY additional charged batteries can be used as backup power during long periods of use of the COMMUNICATOR. To Order a Replacement Li-Ion Battery or other Accessories Call:
