!! CAUTIONS ALL RADIOS !! OBSERVE CAUTION IN THE FOLLOWING ENVIRONMENTS TO MAXIMIZE THE LIFE OF YOUR RADIO EQUIPMENT: MOISTURE: JMX Series radios are not waterproof. DO NOT directly expose them to rain or excessive moisture. CHEMICALS: Detergents, alcohol, aerosol sprays or petroleum products can damage the radio case. DO NOT use petroleum solvents of any kind; use a soft cloth moistened with water to clean the case. EXTREME HEAT: High temperatures can damage the battery and other components.
BATTERIES FIG5: BATTERY ACCESS & INSTALLATION: BATTERY ACCESS DOOR (A) OPTIONAL CHARGING ACCESSORIES: 4. 5. DOOR LATCH 6. 1. 2. Hold the radio as shown above (A). 3. Lift and rotate the Battery Access Door to release it (C). Use your thumbnail to open the Door Latch, as shown below (B). 7. (C) Use the Pull-tab to pull the battery pack out of the case (D). Insert the replacement battery pack, being certain to POSITION IT RELATIVE TO THE CASE AS SHOWN IN (D).
BATTERIES CAUTION: Use only RITRON-supplied chargers; using other chargers may cause fire or explosion, or otherwise damage the radio. GENERAL The JMX Series radio is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. CHARGING Because the battery pack loses its charge during storage and shipment, fully charge it before first use. To ensure peak radio performance for the next day, charge the battery overnight after each day of use. It completely charges in about ten hours.
TROUBLESHOOTING NOTES 1. Try a battery pack from a working radio. If the radio in question works with that pack, the original battery is suspect. Charge the suspect battery as recommended in this manual. If this original battery cannot power the radio, try charging it again with another charger. If the battery still doesn't hold a charge, the pack should probably be replaced. If the battery appears to be "good" after using the second charger, the first charger may be faulty.
FCC LICENSE REQUIRED FCC REGULATIONS LICENSING The FCC requires the owners of the radios to obtain a station license before using them. The station licensee is responsible for ensuring that transmitter power, frequency and deviation are within the limits specified by the station license. The station licensee is also responsible for proper operation and maintenance of the radio equipment. This includes checking the transmitter frequency and deviation periodically, using appropriate methods.
