Product Care & Maintenance
Avoid exposure to all precipitation and moisture
. Moisture (perhaps from rain, snow, condensation, or
other) can potentially enter the unit or the battery compartment and cause serious problems. Proper care
should be taken to mitigate the introduction of moisture into the machine and make sure that no moisture
is present during storage. Moisture can quickly lead to corrosion, electrical shorts, and even rust
—
all of
which can render the unit damaged and out of warranty. This type of damage is preventable! If you are
operating in rainy, wet conditions, it is recommended that you place the unit inside of a large plastic storage
bag or use a water/weatherproof deployment bag to keep water from getting to it. When storing the unit
for prolonged periods, be sure that you keep it in a dry location.
Remove batteries prior to storage or
extended periods of inactivity!
All batteries, whether alkaline or rechargeable, should be removed from the
game calls, decoys, and transmitters prior to storage or periods of inactivity. Batteries left inside of
electronic devices can leak over time. Damages caused by this can be severe and potentially destroy the
electrical components. To prevent this from happening, simply remove all batteries from all devices before
you put them away. Keep in mind: damage caused by battery leakage is not covered under warranty.

FCC & IC Information
RF Exposure Safety Notice
The Snow Commando transmitter is not intended to be operated closer than 20cm (about 8 inches) to your body. The
transmitter can produce a radiated RF field similar to that of a standard cell telephone, although the duty cycle of this RF
field is much lower than that of a cell telephone. Using the transmitter closer than 8 inches to your body can increase your
exposure to RF energy levels thought by some to be harmful. Additionally, operation in close proximity to your body can
detune the antenna causing a decrease in operating performance.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all
persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. End-users and
installers must be provided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF
exposure compliance.
