Safety Information and Warnings
Information on Safe Operation
Read This Information Before Using Your Radio.
The operation of your radio in Your country is subject to conditions in the
following license:
Radio Antenna
Do not use any radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and violate
compliance. Do NOT change or modify the antenna. Do NOT hold the antenna
when the radio is “IN USE.” Holding the antenna reduces range and may
cause bodily harm.
Safety and general use whilst in a vehicle
Check the State and Federal laws and regulations regarding the use of two
way radios in the area where you drive, and always obey them.
For Vehicles fitted with AirBags
Do not place your radio in the area over an airbag or in the airbag deployment
area. Air Bags inflate with great force. If a radio is placed in the air bag deployment
area and the air Bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force and
cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury 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.
Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact
sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in injury or even
death.
Operating Instructions
Model NO:R9(0.5 W/1W/2W)
Hand Held two way radio
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.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your radio OFF near
electrical blasting caps or in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off the
two way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Transmit and Receive Procedure
Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. To control your exposure
and ensure compliance with the general population/uncontrolled environment
exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedure:
•
Transmit no more than 50% of the time.
To receive calls, release the PTT button.
To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (PTT) button
•
Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio generates
measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring
standards compliance). Always hold the radio approximately 5cm in front of your
mouth with the antenna pointing away from your head.
Radio Operation and EME Exposure
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio
and violate compliance. Do NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE.”
Holding the antenna reduces the effective range. Do not use the radio if the antenna
is damaged. If a damaged antenna Makes contact with your skin, a minor burn can
result. If you wear a radio on your body when transmitting, always fit the radio on
the belt clip (supplied). Always ensure the radio and it's antenna are at least 5cm
from your body when transmitting.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI).
To avoid the possibility of electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility
conflicts, turn off your radio in any location where posted notices instruct you to
do so such as health care facilities.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when onboard an aircraft. Any use of a
radio Must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.
Medical Devices – Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum
separationof 6 inches (15cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio
and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
People with pacemakers should:
·
ALWAYS keep the radio more than 15cm from their pace maker when the radio
is turned ON.
·
Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
·
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the potential for interference.
·
Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference
is taking place.
Medical Devices - Hearing Aids
Some radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference,
you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
deviceto determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
General warnings
Never use your radio outdoors during a thunderstorm. Keep the radio out of reach
of babies and young children.

Removing the belt clip
Pull the belt clip latch away from the unit.
Installing the Batteries
FOR USE OF RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES:
If your walkie talkie comes with a rechargeable battery pack or USB cable, dual
USB adaptor and dual USB car charger.
The fully charging time is about 12 hours.
The adaptor and car charger will only charge the battery pack provided and not
other types of rechargeable batteries.
After placing batteries into correct positions, replace the battery cover.
FOR USE OF NON RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES:
1.Slide down the battery compartment cover.
2.Insert 4 x AAA batteries (not included).
3.Position the batteries according to the polarity marking on the battery compartment.
After placing batteries into correct positions, replace the battery cover.
Low Battery Meter Indicator
The radio can detect the low battery level when the battery voltage goes low. The
battery icon will display the low battery status. When battery voltage is low, the
empty battery symbol will Appear and continue to blink. The battery symbol will
continuously blink until it totally drains the Battery voltage where then you will
have to replace the batteries.
Charging method
Charging dock
USB Car charging
