Important:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate this device. Your radio is set up to transmit a regulated signal on an assigned frequency. It is
against the law to alter or adjust the settings inside the radio to exceed those limitations. Any adjustments to your radio
must be made by qualified technicians.
To be safe and sure:
• Never open your radio’s case.
• Never change or replace anything in your radio except the battery.
Your radio might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To determine whether
Your radio is causing the interference, turn it off. If the interference goes away, your radio is causing it.
Try to eliminate the interference by moving your radio away from the receiver. If you cannot eliminate the interference,
the FCC requires that you stop using the radio.
Hazardous Environments:
Do not operate the radio in hazardous environments. Explosion or fire may result.
Do not operate the radio near unshielded electrical blasting caps.
Under certain conditions, radios can interfere with blasting operations and may cause an explosion. Turn your radio OFF
to prevent accidental transmission when in a blasting area or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio." Construction
crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.

of the United States with its action in Report and Order
FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human

Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and
International standards bodies. The design of the radio complies with the FCC guidelines and these international
standards.
Never allow children to operate the radio without adult supervision and the knowledge of the following guidelines.
