Additional Information

Conversation range The 2 way radio is designed to optimise performance and improve transmission range in the field. It is not advisable to use 2 way radios at a distance of less than 1.5 meters from each other to avoid interference. The conversation range depends on the zone concerned. It is affected by concrete structures, thick foliage and can be reduced when radios are used inside buildings or vehicles. Optimal range Outside Flat, open terrain Medium range Outside Trees or buildings Close proximity to residential buildings Minimum range Outside Dense foliage or mountains Inside a building English
Optimal range is obtained in flat, unobstructed zones, spreading over three kilometres maximum. A medium range is obtained when buildings or trees obstruct transmission. The range is minimal when foliage and mountains obstruct the transmission channel.

Troubleshooting

No display or incorrect display Unsent message English Reposition, replace or recharge the batteries Ensure that the PTT key is held down completely on speaking Reposition, replace or recharge the batteries. The shared channel may be in use Check the 2 way radios are tuned to the same channels Ensure that the PTT key has not been pressed accidentally Reposition, replace or recharge the batteries. Obstructions and use of the 2 way radio inside a building may disrupt transmissions. Change location. Check that the volume has been increased. A shared channel may be in use, try using a different channel. Steel or concrete structures, dense foliage and use in buildings reduces range. Check visibility is not obstructed to improve transmission. Carrying the 2 way radio close to the body, in a pocket or on a belt reduces its range. Change the 2 way radios location. The 2 way radios are too close together. The 2 way radios must be at least 1.5 meters distance apart. The 2 way radios are too far apart. Obstacles are disrupting transmission. 30

Care and Use

To clean the radio Use a soft, damp cloth Do not immerse in water. Do not use spirits or cleaning solvents. If the radio gets wet Turn the 2 way radio off and remove the batteries. Dry with a soft cloth. All battery elements may be wiped with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use the radio while it is not completely dry.

General and safety information
Important safety information for effective use of the 2 way radio. Please read these instructions before use. Send and receive procedure The portable 2 way radio contains a send and a receive function. Do not transmit for more than 50% of the time. To send (speak), press the PTT key. To receive calls, release the PTT key. Portable radio use and exposure to electromagnetic energy (EME) Aerial Only the aerial supplied with the 2 way radio or an approved replacement model should be used. Any other unapproved aerial, modification or accessory may damage the portable 2 way radio and contravene regulations relating to electromagnetic energy exposure. Do not hold the 2 way radio by the aerial when it is turned on. Touching the aerial affects the conversation range of the radio.
Use in Walkie-Talkie Mode To use the 2 way radio like a walkie-talkie, hold it vertically with the microphone at 2.5 to 5cm away from the mouth. Data mode operation When the data transfer function is being used, with or without an accessory cable, the radio and its aerial must be held further than 2.5 cm away from the body. Electromagnetic interference/compatibility Note : the majority of electronic appliances are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) in the event of insufficient protection, design or configuration regarding electromagnetic compatibility. Locations To avoid interference caused by electromagnetic radiation, turn off the radio when requested to do so by a public sign or an official. Hospitals and medical centres use equipment with external RF energy sources. Aeroplanes Turn off the 2 way radio when requested to do so on board an aeroplane. All radio use must be in accordance with airline regulations and cabin crew instructions.
Medical devices - Hearing aids Certain 2 way radios can create interference for certain hearing aids. If this is the case, contact the hearing aid manufacturer to discuss other possible solutions. Other medical devices If another type of personal medical device is used please consult the manufacturer to establish whether it is sufficiently protected against external RF energy sources. Your doctor can help obtain such information. Safety and use in a vehicle Drivers must check the laws and regulations relative to the use of 2 way radios in the areas where they are driving. Always observe these laws and regulations strictly. If you wish to use the radio when driving, stop and park on the shoulder of the road before sending or responding.

Medical Equipment - Pacemakers The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that radios should be held at more than 15cm. (6 inches) from a pacemaker. This is in accordance with research undertaken by the US Food & Drug Administration and their recommendations. Those with pacemakers fitted must: ALWAYS hold the radio at more than 15cm. (6 inches) from their pacemaker when the radio is turned on. Avoid carrying the 2 way radio in a chest pocket. Hold the 2 way radio to the ear on the opposite side of the body to the pacemaker, to reduce the possibility of interference. TURN OFF the radio immediately if there is reason to suspect the presence of interference.

Recommendations for use

Vehicles equipped with inflatable airbags. Do not place the radio in the area above the inflatable airbag or in the airbag deployment area. The opening of a safety airbag is very strong. If the radio is placed in the airbag deployment area and the airbag opens, the 2 way radio may be propelled with significant force and cause serious injury to the vehicle occupants. Explosion-risk areas Turn off the radio before entering areas where explosions may occur, except if the 2 way radio is of the built-in safety type specially designed for use in such areas. Avoid removing, replacing or recharging batteries in such an area. Resulting sparks may cause an explosion or a fire that could lead to injury or even death in an explosion-risk area. Note: The explosion-risk areas referred to here are fuelling zones beneath small craft, transfer plants or fuel depots as well as areas which may contain airborne chemical products, in the form of particles, steam, gas, dust or metallic powders. Hazardous areas also include any other zone where drivers are generally requested to turn off their engines. Explosionrisk areas are usually though not always clearly signposted. Dynamiting and Blasting Zones Turn off the 2 way radio when close to electrical detonators or in a dynamiting area, to avoid setting off an explosion. The 2 way radio should also be switched off when signs "Turn off 2 way radios" are posted. Observe these signs and all instructions. English

Operating Precautions

Aerials Do not use 2 way radios with damaged aerials. The skin may be mildly burnt if exposed to a damaged aerial. Batteries Batteries can cause damage and injury if a conducting object (for example, jewellery, keys or a metal bracelet) touches the exposed areas. The conducting object may create a short-circuit in this situation and become extremely hot. Empty or charged batteries must be handled with care, especially when placed in pockets, bags or into any other container for metal objects. NEVER TRY TO recharge the batteries themselves as they may explode and cause personal injury or damage the 2 way radio. English
