Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.

Important:

Changes or modifications to this unit

not expressly approved by Sylvania could void your
authority to operate this unit. 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 batteries.

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 IC 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.

Care and Safety:

To clean the radio, use a soft

cloth dampened with water. Do not use cleaners or
solvents because they can harm the body of the
unit and leak inside, causing permanent damage.
Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the battery 
contacts. Do not submerge the unit in water. 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 the battery
compartment cover off overnight to ensure 
complete drying. Do not use the radio until the unit
is completely dry.

IC INFORMATION

WARNING!

It is up to the user to properly operate

this radio transmitter to insure safe operation.
Please adhere to the following:
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or 
attachments could impair call quality, damage the
radio, or result in violation of regulations.
Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna.
If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn 
operations using the supplied belt-clip, which 
typically provides a space of 1 inch from the body.
To maintain compliance with RF exposure 
requirements, Body-worn operations are restricted
to the supplied belt-clip.
For hand-held operation, the radio should be held 
1 inch from the user's face. The use of accessories
that do not satisfy these requirements may not
comply with RF exposure requirements and should
be avoided.
