OPERATING CONTROLS
(continued)
QUIET-CALL (QC)
To be heard by other QC users having units
with QC activated, an outgoing call must carry
the same code programmed for the "receiving"
handhelds. Any radio not transmitting the
proper code WILL NOT be heard.
NOTES: To prevent interfering with others
using your channel, turn QC OFF by
rotating the squelch control clockwise,
and monitor the channel before you
transmit. (With QC turned OFF, you
will hear all activity on the channel.)
Only units operating on the same
frequency indicated on all JOBCOM
portables with a color dot can
communicate with each other.
Units equipped with QC can
communicate only with units
programmed with the same code,
unless QC is turned OFF.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
EXCESSIVE TRANSMISSIONS:
Maximum drain on battery power occurs when
you are transmitting. DO NOT hold the Push-
To-Talk switch down longer than necessary
during transmission intervals.
NOTE: DO NOT reduce battery service life
by attempting to power a radio with a
depleted battery; always charge
batteries overnight after each day of
use.
VIBRATION/ SHOCKS:
Although your JOBCOM radio is designed to
be rugged, it will not survive excessive abuse.
Avoid dropping the radio.
NOTE: The optional MH-A holster provides
added protection from shocks and
weather.
TAKE PRECAUTIONS IN THE FOLLOWING
ENVIRONMENTS
TO MAXIMIZE THE LIFE OF
YOUR ELECTRONIC RADIO EQUIPMENT.
MOISTURE:
JOBCOM radios are not waterproof; DO NOT
directly expose them to rain or excessive
moisture.
EXTREME HEAT:
High temperatures can damage the battery
and other components. DO NOT expose the
units to extreme heat or leave them in direct
sunlight.
LOW TEMPERATURES:
The capacity of the Ni-Cad battery is greatly
reduced in extreme cold. When using the unit
in very cold environments, periodically warm
the radio beneath your coat.

that operate on an ITINERANT frequency (Red Dot), your business must cover at least a statewide area of
operation and operate at no fixed location.
Use the following instructions to obtain an FCC license for your JOBCOM radios:
