WARNING 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. 6 WARNING IMPORTANT NOTE:
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. SAFETY INFORMATION Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. This product sends out radio frequency (RF) signals when the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button is pressed. 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.

WARNING 9 WARNING WARNING Avoid Burns Antennas
'o not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damag-
ed antenna comes into contact with the skin when the radio is in use, a minor burn can result. Batteries (If appropriate)
:Ken the conductive material such as jewelry, keys or chains touch exposed terminals of the batteries, may complete an electrical circuit
(short circuit the battery) and become hot to cause bodily injury such as burns. Exercise care in handling any battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse or other container with metal objects. Long transmission
:Ken the transceiver is used for long transmissions, the radiator and chassis will become hot. Safety Operation
- Forbid
Do not use charger outdoors or in moist environments, use only in dry locations/conditions.
