4 Safety instructions
4.1 General
Please read carefully through the following information concerning safety and proper
use. Make yourself familiar with all functions of the device. Keep this manual in a safe
place for future use.
4.2 Burning injuries
• If the cover of the antenna is damaged, do not touch because when an antenna
comes in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result when transmitting.
• Batteries can cause property damage such as burns if conductive material such
as jewellery, 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.
4.3 Injuries
• Do not place your device in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a PMR is placed in the bag deployment
area and the air bag inflates, the communicator may be propelled with great
force and cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
• Keep the PMR at least 15 centimetres away from a pacemaker.
• Turn your PMR off as soon as interference is taking place with medical
equipment.
4.4 Danger of explosion
• Do not replace batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking
may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.

• Turn your PMR off when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death.
• Never throw batteries in fire as they may explode.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include fuelling 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.
4.5 Poisoning danger
• Keep batteries away from small children.
4.6 Legal
• In some countries it is prohibited to use your PMR while driving a vehicle. In this
case leave the road before using the device.
• Turn your PMR off when on board an aircraft when instructed to do so. Any use
of the PMR must be in accordance with airline regulations or crew instructions.
• Turn your PMR 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
external RF energy.
• Replacing or modifying the antenna may affect the PMR radio specifications and
violate the CE regulations. Unauthorised antennas could also damage the radio.
4.7 Notes
• Do not touch the antenna while transmitting, it could affect the range.
• Remove the batteries if the device is not going to be used for a long period.

Cleaning and maintenance

• To clean the unit, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water. Don't use a
cleaner or solvents on the unit; they can damage the case and leak inside,
causing permanent damage.
• Battery contacts may be wiped with a dry lint-free cloth.
• 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 the cover off the battery compartment overnight or until completely dry.
Do not use the unit until completely dry.
6 Using a PMR device
To communicate between PMR devices they need to be set all on the same channel
and CTCSS code and within receiving range (up to max. 10 km in open field). Since
