NOTE: Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include fueling 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.

air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the GMRS/FRS may be propelled
with great force and cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if
conductive material such as jewelry, 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.
Care and Safety
To clean the unit, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water. Don't use
cleaners or solvents on the unit; they can harm the case and leak inside,
causing permanent damage. Battery contacts may be wiped with a dry, lint-
free cloth.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
The Relevant Guidelines and Standards Are:
To ensure optimal unit performance and to ensure that exposure to RF
energy is within the guidelines in the above standards, the following
operating procedures should be observed:
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI)
if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic
compatibility.
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

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 cover off the BATTERY COMPARTMENT overnight or until
completely dry. Do not use the unit until completely dry.

FCC Notice
7
The FCC requires that you be advised of certain requirements involving the
use of this device. 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 residential installation. This device uses and can generate
radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that the 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 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 to 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.
This equipment generates or uses radio frequency energy.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved in writing may cause
harmful interference and void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
FCC WARNING:
FCC INFORMATION: 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. Privacy
of communications may not be ensured when using this equipment.
Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter.
When the PUSH TO TALK button is pushed it sends out radio frequency (RF)
signals. The device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50%. In
August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted Therefore

exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless devices.
Use only the supplied . Unauthorized ANTENNAS, modifications, or
attachments could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.
ANTENNA
To maintain compliance with the FCC's RF exposure guidelines
hold the transmitter and ANTENNA at least 2 inch (5 cm) from your face and
speak in a normal voice, with the pointed up and away from the face.
