"1" to talk, press "3" to listen. Press "8" to return to automatic 2-way voice mode.

•  For U.S. installations only: The radios are re

q

uired to comply 

with FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such, 
they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.

•  A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal 

at a time and may be blocked by radio signals that occur on or 
near their operating fre

q

uencies, regardless of code settings.

•  Changes or modifi cations to the device may void FCC compliance.

• Infre

q

uently used radio links should be tested regularly to 

protect against undetected interference or fault.

•  A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be 

gained prior to acting as a wholesale distributor or dealer, and 
these facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.
