Safety Information and Warnings

WARNING

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.

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.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

Your Oricom two-way radio complies with Australian 

Communications Authority Radio communications 

(Electromagnetic Radiation-Human Exposure) Standard, 2003.
To assure optimal radio performance and make sure 

human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic 

energy is within the guidelines set out in the above 

standards always adhere to the following procedures.

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.
