Please read this information before installing or using your UHF radio.
The operation of your UHF radio in Australia is subject to conditions in the following
Licence: In Australia the ACMA Radio communications (Citizen Band Radio Stations) and
in New Zealand by MED the General User Radio Licence for Citizen Band Radio.
Check the State and Federal laws and regulations regarding the use of two way radios in
the area where you drive, and always obey them.
When using the radio in a vehicle, do not place your radio in the area over an airbag, or
in the airbag deployment area. Airbags inflate with great force, if a radio is placed in the
airbag deployment area and the air bag inflates, it may be propelled with great force and
cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
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 of
your vehicle engine.
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.
Your 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 radio operating procedures.
Unauthorised antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and violate
compliance. DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE.” Holding the antenna
reduces the effective range. DO NOT use the radio if the antenna is damaged.
If a damaged antenna makes contact with a persons skin, a minor burn may result.
