Operating Instructions
Please read and observe the following information and keep the operating manual
nearby for future reference!
Safety information
Risk of explosion!
Only use the power adapter plugs supplied!
Only use batteries supplied or ones of the same type!
Always treat batteries with due care and attention and only use batteries as described.
Never use standard and rechargeable batteries together. Never use rechargeable
batteries or standard batteries with different capacities or charge statuses together.
Never use standard or rechargeable batteries which are damaged.
Risk of suffocation through small objects, packaging and protective foil!
Keep children away from the product and its packaging!
Risks to health and the environment from batteries!
Never open, damage or swallow batteries or allow them to pollute the environment.
They could contain toxic and ecologically harmful heavy metals.
If the cover of the antenna is damaged, do not touch because when an antenna comes
in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result when transmitting.
Keep the PMR at least 15 centimetres away from a pacemaker.
Turn your PMR OFF as soon as interference is taking place with medical equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, clearly marked.
They include fuelling 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.
In some countries it is prohibited to use your PMR while driving a vehicle. In this case
leave the road before using the device.
Turn your PMR OFF when on board an aircraft when instructed to do so. Any use of the
PMR must be in accordance with airline regulations or crew instructions.
Turn your PMR 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.
Replacing or modifying the antenna may affect the PMR radio specifications and violate
the CE regulations. Unauthorised antennas could also damage the radio.
Do not touch the antenna while transmitting, it could affect the range.
Remove the batteries if the device is not going to be used for a long period.
Intended purpose
It can be used for recreational purposes. For example: to keep in contact during
travelling with 2 or more cars, biking, skiing.
To communicate between PMR devices they need to be set all on the same channel and
within receiving range. Since these devices use free frequency bands (channels), all devices
in operation share these channels (total 6 channels). Therefore, privacy is not garanteed.
Anybody with a PMR set to your channel can overhear the conversation. The range of radio
waves is strongly affected by obstacles such as buildings, concrete/metal structures, the
unevenness of the landscape, woodland, plants, … This implies that the range between
two or more PMR‘s may in some extreme cases be restricted to a maximum of a few tens
of meters. You will soon notice that PMR works best when there is a minimum of obstacles
between users.
