INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your radio requires four AAA alkaline or NiCad or NiMH Rechargeable batteries for
power. For the best performance and longest life, please note the following cautions:
Note:
1) Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn them.
2) If you do not plan to use the unit for a month or longer, remove the batteries.
Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts. The warranty does not
cover damage caused by leaking batteries.
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different type of batteries (alkaline
or rechargeable), or rechargeable
batteries of different capacity.
• Follow these steps to install
batteries.

EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY
The design of your MRC-11X, which generates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic
energy (EME), complies with the following national and international standards and
guidelines.
• FCC Report and Order FCC 96- 326 ( August, 1996)
• American National Standards Institute ( C95- 1- 1992)
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP - 1986 )
• International Commission on Non- lonizing Radiation Protection ( ICNRP - 1986)
To ensure optimal unit performance and to ensure that exposure to RF energy is
within the guidelines in the above standards, the following operating procedures
should be observed:
For Portable Two-Way Communicators
• When transmitting with a handheld MRC-11X, hold the unit in a vertical position
with its microphone 1 to 2 inches ( 2. 5 to 5.0 cm ) away from your mouth. Keep the
antenna at least 1 inch (2.5cm) from your head and body.
• If you wear the unit on your body, ensure that the antenna is at least one inch
(2.5cm) from your body when transmitting.
Electromagnetic Interference/ Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference
(EMI) of inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic
compatibility.
• Turn your unit 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.
• Turn your unit OFF when on board an aircraft when instructed to do so. Any use of
the unit must be in accordance with airline regulations or crew instructions.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To enjoy your radio for a long time:
• Keep the radio dry. 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 cover off the battery compartment overnight or until
completely dry. Do not use the unit until completely dry.
• Use and store the radio only in normal temperature environments.
• Handle the radio gently and carefully. Do not drop it.
• Keep the radio away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe the radio with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
• Don’t use cleaners or solvents on the unit; they can harm the case and leak inside,
causing permanent damage. Battery contacts may be wiped with a dry, lint- free
cloth.
