UnitedStatesFederalCommunicationCommission’s(FCC),IndustryCanada,andthosefromother

administrations,pleasereadthefollowinginformationbeforeusingthisradio.

Using this radio

Thisradioshouldonlybeusedforwork-relatedpurposes(itisnotauthorizedforanyotheruse)andwhentheuseris

fullyawareof,andcanexercisecontrolover,exposuretoRFenergy.TopreventexceedingFCCRFexposurelimits,

theusermustcontroltheamountanddurationofRFthattheyandotherpeopleareexposedto.

Itisalsoimportantthatyou:

• DonotremovetheRFExposurelabelfromtheradio.

• EnsurethisRFexposureinformationaccompaniestheradiowhenitistransferredtootherusers.

• DonotusetheradioifyoudonotadheretotheguidelinesoncontrollingyourexposuretoRF.

TocontrolyourexposuretoRFandcomplywiththemaximumexposurelimitsforoccupational/controlledenvir-

by Harrisforthisradio.Using non-approved body-worn accessories may mean you expose yourself to

higher levels ofRFthanrecommendedbytheFCC's occupational/controlled environment exposure limits.

Interference with electronic devices

Some electronic devices may be prone to malfunction due to the lack of protection

from RF energy that is present when your radio is transmitting.

ExamplesofelectronicdevicesthatmaybeaffectedbyRFenergyare:

• aircraftelectronicsystems

• vehicularelectronicsystemssuchasfuelinjection,anti-skidbrakes,andcruisecontrol

• medicaldevicessuchaspacemakersandhearingaids

• medicalequipmentinhospitalsorhealthcarefacilities.

Switchofftheradiobeforeboardinganaircraft.Usingyourradiowhileintheairisnotpermitted.

Consultthemanufacturer(oritsrepresentative)ofanysuchelectronicdevicestodeterminewhetherelectroniccir-

cuitsinthosedeviceswillperformnormallywhentheradioistransmitting.

If you have a pacemaker:

• immediatelyturnofftheradioifyoususpectitisinterferingwiththepacemaker

• keeptheradioatleast6inches(15cm)fromthepacemakerwhiletheradioison

• usetheradioonthesideoppositetothepacemakertominimizeinterference

• nevercarrytheradioinabreastpocket.

Ifthereisinterferencebetweenyourhearingaidandtheradio,pleasediscussanalternativesolutionwiththehearing

aidmanufacturer.

Potentially explosive atmospheres and blasting areas

Unless the radio is specifically certified for use in a potentially explosive atmo-

sphere, turn off the radio before entering such an atmosphere. An explosion could

cause serious injury or death. Examples of potentially explosive atmospheres

13

include filling stations, and any environment where there are flammable liquids,

gases, or dusts.

Turn off the radio before approaching blasting caps, a blasting area, or any area

where you are instructed to turn off a two-way radio. Obey all signs and instruc-

tions. Interference with blasting operations could cause serious injury or death.

Radio installation and operation in vehicles

Keep the radio away from airbags and airbag deployment areas. Do not install,

charge, or place a radio near such areas. An activated airbag can propel a portable

radio with sufficient force to cause serious injury to vehicle occupants. An airbag

may not perform to specification if obstructed by a radio.

To avoid damage to existing wiring, airbags, fuel tanks, fuel and brake lines, or bat-

tery cables, refer to the installation guide for the radio, and to the vehicle man-

ufacturer’s manual, before installing electronic equipment in the vehicle.

Usingahandheldmicrophoneoraradiowhiledrivingavehiclemayviolatethelawsandlegislationthatapplyinyour

countryorstate.Pleasecheckthevehicleregulationsinyourarea.

Vehicle charger installation and operation

Fordetailedinstructionsnecessarytothesafeinstallationandoperationofthevehiclecharger,pleaserefertothedoc-

umentationsuppliedwiththevehiclecharger.

Multicharger safety information

This device must be connected to an earthed mains socket-outlet.

Attaching of labels

Do not obstruct the vent hole on the battery or the vent hole on the radio chassis

label. If the vent on the battery is obstructed, the battery may explode, causing per-

sonal injury and/or damage to property. If the vent on the radio is obstructed,

audio quality and/or key function may deteriorate and radio seals may be dam-

aged.

Use of lithium-ion batteries

A damaged battery can cause an explosion or fire, and can result in personal

injury and/or property damage. To prevent personal injury and/or damage to prop-

erty, read the important safety information supplied with the battery.

Short-circuiting battery contacts

Do not short-circuit the battery contacts, neither intentionally nor accidentally, e.g.

by placing the battery with conductive materials such as keys or jewelry inside a

pocket or container. Short-circuiting the battery contacts can heat up the con-

ductive material and cause personal injury and/or damage to property.

For your safety — battery warning

This radio uses a Lithium-ion battery. If the battery is damaged or handled in an

unsafe manner, it can cause personal injury and/or damage to property. Read the

important safety information included with the battery.

Attaching labels to the radio or battery

Do not cover the battery vent hole or the vent hole on the radio chassis. If the vent

on the battery is obstructed, the battery may explode, causing personal injury

and/or damage to property. If the vent on the radio is obstructed, audio quality

and/or key function may deteriorate and radio seals may be damaged.
