RF Exposure Information WARNING! Read this information before using the radio. In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters.
Page 7
The information listed above provides the user with the information needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to as-sure that this radio operates with the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio. Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility During transmissions, Our radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems.

5. BASIC OPERATIONS 5.1 Power on the radio Turning the unit on • To turn the unit on, simply rotate the volume/power knob clockwise until you hear a "click". If your radio powers on correctly there should be an audible double beep after about one second and the display will show a message or flash the LCD depending on settings for about one second.
When receiving a call, the green LED is on. NOTE: To ensure the best reception volume, keep the distance between the microphone and the mouth at the time of transmission from 2.5 cm to 5 cm. 5.4 Channel selection There are two modes of operation: Frequency (VFO) mode, and Channel or Memory (MR) mode. For everyday use, Channel (MR) mode is going to be a whole lot more practical than Frequency (VFO) mode.
your area. 5.6 Channel (MR) mode The use of Channel (MR) mode is dependent on actually having programmed in some channels to use. Once you have channels programmed and ready, you can use the ▲/▼ keys or the encoder to navigate between channels. 6.
Directly press [Back] key to move the cursor up and down. Then, you can modify or confirm the parameters indicated by the cursor. Important1: P10UV has a dual-frequency display function. In frequency mode, you will see on the display two different receiving and transmitting frequencies; while in channel mode the two different channels will be displayed.
Memory channels are an easy way to store commonly used frequencies so that they can easily be retrieved at a later date. The POFUNG P10UV features 128 memory channels that each can hold: Receive and transmit frequencies, transmit power, group signaling information, bandwidth, ANI/ PTT-ID settings and a six character alphanumeric identifier or channel name Frequency Mode vs.

Certain Amateur Radio repeaters (especially in Europe) use a 1750Hz tone burst to open up the repeater. To see how this is done with the POFUNG P10UV, see the section called “1750Hz Tone-burst”. If you're still unable to make a connection, contact the person in charge of the radio system with your employer or your local amateur radio club, as the case may be.
reverse your transmit and receive frequencies. This is indicated in the LCD on the radio with an R in the top row, next to the plus and minus for the offset direction. 7.
