Walkie-talkie Etiquette

Your walkie-talkie's 8 channels are shared on a "take turns" basis.

This means other groups may be talking on the channels. For

uninterrupted communications, follow the steps below:

1. Use the Mon button to check activity on the channel before

talking.

2. Don't talk over someone who is already using the channel – your

message may not be completely heard. Try changing the Channel

and Interference Eliminator Code to avoid channel congestion.

Note: Since the channels are shared, your conversations will not be private

and you may hear others talking.

Talk Range

Talkabout TA288 walkie-talkies have been designed to maximize

performance and improve transmission range in the field. It is

recommended that you do not use the walkie-talkies closer than 1.5

meters apart because of heavy interference.

Talk range depends on the terrain. These are line of sight walkie-

talkies and talk range will be affected by concrete structures, heavy

foliage and operating walkie-talkies indoors and in vehicles.

Optimal Range Medium Range Minimal Range

Optimal range occurs in flat, open areas with up to 3 kilometres of

coverage. Medium range occurs when buildings and trees are in the

way. Minimal range occurs when dense foliage and mountains

obstruct the communication path.

Optional Motorola Original Accessories

There are many audio and carrying accessories available for Talkabout

TA288 walkie-talkies. Receive incoming messages in privacy with an

Earbud or Flexible Ear Receiver. Whether it's an Arm Pack, Belt Case,

Bum Bag, Shoulder Pack or Waterproof Bag, Motorola has a great

carrying case for you! For information contact place of purchase.

Use Of Audio Accessories:

When using optional audio accessories with your walkie-talkie, we

recommend that the volume level be kept at a comfortable listening

level. Before you place the accessory on your head or in your ear, turn

the volume down.

Note: Talkabout TA288 walkie-talkies use single pin accessories and therefore

cannot use the same audio accessories as other Talkabout walkie-

talkies.



!

Your Motorola walkie-talkie, which generates and radiates radio

frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME), is designed to comply

with the following national and international standards and guidelines

regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency

electromagnetic energy:

 FCC Report and Order FCC 96-326 (August, 1996)

 American National Standards Institute (C95-1 - 1992)

 National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP

- 1986)

 International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection

(ICNRP - 1986)

 European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization

(CENELEC)

 Env. 50166 - 1 1995E - Human Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields

Low Frequency (0Hz to 10kHz)

 Env. 50166 - 2 1995E - Human Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields

 Proceeding of SC211/8 1996 - Safety Considerations for Human

Exposure to E.M.F's from Mobile Telecommunications Equipment

(M.T.E.) in the Frequency Range 30 MHz - 6GHz (E.M.F.-

Electromagnetic Fields)

To assure optimal walkie-talkie performance and that human exposure

to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set

forth in the above standards, always adhere to the following

procedures:

Operation and EME Exposure For Portable Two-Way Radios

or Walkie talkies:

When transmitting with a portable radio or walkie-talkie, hold radio or

walkie-talkie in a vertical position with its microphone 2.5 to 5.0 cm

away from your mouth. Keep antenna at least 2.5 cm from your head

and body when transmitting.

English 8

If you wear a portable radio or walkie-talkie on your body, ensure that

the antenna is at least 2.5 cm from your body when transmitting.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility:

Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic

interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise

configured for electromagnetic compatibility.

To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts,

turn off your walkie-talkie in any facility where posted notices instruct

you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using

equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

When instructed to do so, turn off your walkie-talkie when on board

an aircraft. Any use of a radio or walkie-talkie must be in accordance

with airline regulations or crew instructions.

Operational Caution



!

Damaged Antennas:

Do not use any radio or walkie-talkie that has a damaged antenna. If a

damaged antenna comes in contact with the skin, a minor burn may

result.

Batteries:

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as

burns if a conductive material such as jewellery, keys or beaded chains

touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical

circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling

any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse

or other container with metal objects.

Operational Warning



!

For Vehicles With an Air Bag:

Do not place a portable radio or walkie-talkie in the area over an air

bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great

force. If a portable radio or walkie-talkie is placed in the air bag

deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio or walkie-talkie

may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to

occupants of vehicle.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres:

Turn your walkie-talkie OFF when in any area with a potentially

explosive atmosphere, unless it is a type especially qualified for such

use (for example, Factory Mutual Approved). Sparks in a potentially

explosive atmosphere could cause an explosion or fire resulting in

bodily injury or even death.

Batteries:

Do not replace or change batteries in a potentially explosive

atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing

batteries and cause an explosion.

Blasting Caps and Areas:

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your

walkie-talkie OFF near electrical blasting caps or in a "blasting area"

or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio". Obey all signs and

instructions.

Note: Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above

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.

Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not

always, marked.
