OutPost XT Owner’s Manual

The  Rules  and  Regulations  of  the  United  States  Federal  Communications

Commission  (FCC)  require  you  or  your  radio  service  provider  to  have  a

license  for  your  radio  system  before  activating  the 

OUTPOST  XT

  radio

transmitter.    If  you  already  are  operating  a  licensed  radio  system,  you

probably can add a 

OUTPOST XT

 without any changes to that license.

The  station  licensee  is  responsible  for  ensuring  that  transmitter  power,

frequency  and  modulation  are  within  the  limits  specified  by  the  station

license,  and  also  for  proper  operation  and  maintenance  of  the  radio

equipment. These responsibilities include checking the transmitter frequency

and modulation periodically, using appropriate methods.
Ritron or your Ritron Dealer can assist you with all these requirements. You

may also contact the FCC directly by any of the following methods:
To obtain copies of FCC forms and instructions use the FCC Fax-On-Demand

system at 

 202-418-0177

.  Request Document 000600.

SAFETY  STANDARDS  —

 The  FCC  has  adopted  a  safety  standard  for  hu-

man  exposure  to  radio  frequency  electromagnetic  energy  emitted  by  FCC

regulated equipment.  The Quick Talk conforms to the standards effective at

the time of its equipment authorization by the FCC.  In general these stan-

dards recommend that you:

F.C.C. LICENSING AND REGULATIONS

•

 DO NOT allow the antenna to come very close to, or to touch exposed

  parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.

•

 DO NOT transmit near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive

  atmosphere.

•

 DO NOT allow children to play with radio transmitters.

•

 BE AWARE of the conditions which cause the unit to transmit.

SERVICE

 - Federal law prohibits you from making any internal adjustments to

the  transmitter,  and  from  changing  transmit  frequencies  unless  you  are

specifically designated by the licensee.
DO NOT ADJUST OR TAMPER with components or the printed circuit board

in  any  manner  not  directed  in  this  manual.  Unauthorized  adjustments  may

render the unit inoperable; repair will be at owner's expense.
If  your  radio  equipment  fails  to  operate  properly,  or  if  you  wish  to  have  the

radio serviced, contact your authorized dealer, or call Ritron at 317-846-1201
and ask for the Repair Department.

WHAT THIS WARRANTY COVERS: RITRON, INC. ("RITRON")

RITRON RQX-150-XT,  RQX-450-XT, RQX-446-XT,

AND RQX-454-XT 

 Wireless Callbox units under normal use and

service during the applicable warranty period, as stated below.

"Accessories" means antennas, wire, cable and items contained in

the programming and programming/service kits.

WHAT THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER:

• Any technical information provided with the covered product or any other products;
• Installation, maintenance or service of the product, unless this is covered by a

separate written agreement with RITRON;

• Any products not furnished by RITRON which are attached or used with the covered

product, or defects or damage from the use of the covered product with equipment

that is not covered;

• Defects or damage, including broken antennas, resulting from:

- misuse, abuse, improper maintenance, alteration, modification or modification to

  any housing, neglect, accident or act of God, or,

- the use of covered products other than in normal and customary manner, or,

- improper testing or installation;

• Defects or damages from unauthorized disassembly, repair or modification, or

where unauthorized disassembly, repair or modification prevents inspection and

testing necessary to validate warranty claims;

IMPORTANT:

  This warranty sets forth the full extent of RITRON's

express responsibilities regarding the covered products, and is given

in lieu of all other express warranties. What RITRON has agreed to do

above is your sole and exclusive remedy. No person is authorized to

make any other warranty to you on behalf of RITRON. Warranties

implied by state law, such as implied warranties of merchantability

and fitness for a particular purpose, are limited to the duration of this

consequential damages are not recoverable under this warranty (this

includes loss of use or time, inconvenience, business interruption,

commercial loss, lost profits or savings). Some states do not allow the

exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or

limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above

limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. Because each covered

product system is unique, RITRON disclaims liability for range,

coverage, or operation of the system as a whole under this warranty.
