    SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION IMPORTANT! Read this information before using your integrated multi-service phone. RADIO OPERATION Your radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives, and also transmits, radio frequency (RF) energy. The radio operates in the frequency range of 806MHz to 866MHz, and employs digital modulation techniques.
  • Page 44 Speak directly into the mouthpiece and position the antenna up and over your shoulder. When using the radio as a traditional two-way radio while making group or private calls with the Group/Private Speaker ON (no speaker icon visible in the display), hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone one to two inches away from the lips.
  • Page 45 • Interference to Other Electronic Devices RF energy may affect improperly or inadequately shielded electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Also check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to the vehicle.
  • Page 46 • Children Do not allow children to play with your radio. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example). Children also could damage the radio, or make calls that increase your service bills.
  • Page 47 • Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Turn your radio OFF and do not replace the battery when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your radio or its accessories could generate sparks which might trigger an explosion. W A R N I N G Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked.
