This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
RF Operational Characteristics
Your radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and
transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. The XSeries VHF radios operate in the
frequency range of 151-158 MHz, the XSeries UHF radios operate in the
frequency range of 461-469 MHz. When you communicate with XU1100 or XV1100
radios the output power level is 1.0 watt, with other XSeries radios the output
power level is 2.0 watts.
Transmit and Receive Procedure
Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. To transmit (talk), you must
push the Push-to-Talk button; to receive (listen), release the Push-to-Talk button.
