1 Safety Information

Please read this operating instruction manual thoroughly.

Intended use

These walkie−talkies have been conceived for communication with

other walkie−talkies complying to the same standards. Any other

use is considered unintended use. Unauthorised modification or re-

construction is not permitted. Under no circumstances open the de-

vices or complete any repair work yourself.

Ambient conditions

Prevent excessive exposure to smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals,

moisture, heat and direct sunlight.

Do not use the walkie−talkies in potentially explosive areas.

Batteries

Caution: Do not mix the types of battery! Only use batte-

ries of the same brand at any one time! Pay attention to

correct polarity. If the walkie−talkies will be out of use for

some time, remove the batteries.

Medical equipment

Caution: Never use the walkie−talkies in the vicinity of me-

dical equipment. Effects on such equipment cannot be

fully ruled out. Walkie−talkies can cause an unpleasant

humming sound in hearing aids.
