For example, when turning the CH control clockwise, the channel number increases. When it reaches its maximum value, it rolls over to its minimum value and then starts to increase again. If dead end is selected, when you reach the maximum or minimum value, the value will not change. For example, when turning the CH control clockwise, the channel number increases. When it reaches its maximum value, it stops. You must then rotate the CH control counterclockwise to change the value. Dead Beat Disable (DBD) After receiving a DBD code, the transceiver will automatically send an acknowledgement signal. Transmission is disabled. If the radio receives a DBD reset code, the transceiver will automatically send an acknowledgement signal. Transmission is enabled. Timed Power OFF This function requires an ignition-sense which must be connected to the 9 pin connector on the rear panel of the transceiver. When you turn the ignition of your vehicle OFF, the timer starts. After the pre-selected time expires, the transceiver will turn OFF. The timer resets when the ignition is turned ON and OFF. 19 MANDATORY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO INSTALLERS AND USERS Use only manufacturer or dealer supplied antenna. Antenna Minimum Safe Distance: 240 cm (8 feet), 50% duty Cycle. Antenna Gain: 0 dBd referenced to a dipole. The Federal Communications Commission has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF (Radio Frequency) energy which is below the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) limits. Antenna Mounting: The antenna supplied by the manufacturer or radio dealer must not be mounted at a location such that during radio transmission, any person or persons can come closer than the above indicated minimum safe distance to the antenna, i.e. 240 cm

(8 feet) , 50% duty Cycle. To comply with current FCC RF Exposure limits, the antenna must be installed at or exceeding the minimum safe distance shown above, and in accordance with the requirements of the antenna manufacturer or supplier. Vehicle installation: The antenna can be mounted at the center of a vehicle metal roof or trunk lid, if the minimum safe distance is observed. Base Station Installation: The antenna should be fixed-mounted on an outdoor permanent structure. RF Exposure compliance must be addressed at the time of installation. Antenna substitution: Do not substitute any antenna for the one supplied or recommended by the manufacturer or radio dealer. You may be exposing person or persons to excess radio frequency radiation. You may contact your radio dealer or the manufacturer for further instructions. Maintain a separation distance from the antenna to person(s) of at least 240 cm (8 feet) , 50% duty Cycle. This transmitter is authorized to operate with a maximum duty factor of 50%, in typical push-to-talk mode, for satisfying FCC RF exposure compliance requirements. You, as the qualified end-user of this radio device must control the exposure conditions of bystanders to ensure the minimum separation distance (above) is maintained between the antenna and nearby persons for satisfying RF Exposure compliance. The operation of this transmitter must satisfy requirements of Occupational/Controlled Exposure Environment, for work-related use, transmit only when person(s) are at least the minimum distance from the properly installed, externally mounted antenna. Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum lateral distance away from the antenna/vehicle. the
