Please read before installing or operating your Oricom radio
The operation of your UHF radio in Australia and New Zealand is subject to
conditions in the following licenses: In Australia, the ACMA Radio communications
(Citizen Band Radio Stations) and in New Zealand by MED the General User Radio
License for Citizen Band Radio.
When a new narrowband radio receives a transmission from an older wideband radio the speech may sound loud
and distorted – simply adjust your radio volume for the best listening performance. When an older wideband
radio receives a signal from a new narrowband radio the speech may sound quieter - simply adjust your radio
volume for best listening performance. When operating a narrowband radio or Channel 41 - 80 interference is
possible from wideband radios transmitting on high power or on adjacent frequency.
The issues described above are not a fault of the radio but a consequence of mixed use of wideband and
narrowband radios.
This unit complies with all relevant Australian and New Zealand approval requirements

  • Page 3: Warnings And Safety Information

    Warnings and Safety Information Potentially Explosive Atmosphere Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in injury or even death. WARNING NOTE: Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always clearly marked. They include fuelling areas such as below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Blasting Caps and Areas To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your radio OFF near electrical blasting caps or in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two way radios.” Obey all signs and instructions. Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI). To avoid the possibility of electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so such as health care facilities. This radio is designed for operation on a 12 Volt battery system. It should not be connected directly to a 24 Volt system. When installing your radio in your vehicle, check that during installation you do not damage any CAUTION wiring or vehicle components that may be hidden around the mounting position. Ensure the installation does not interfere with the operation of the vehicle and meets all regulatory and safety retirements for accessories fitted to your vehicle. For optimum performance, your radio needs to be installed correctly. If you are unsure about how to install your radio, we suggest you have your radio professionally installed by a UHF specialist or Auto electrician. When installing the radio, avoid mounting it close to heaters or air conditioners. Never press the PTT button before connecting the antenna to the radio. Installation of Your Oricom Radio...
  • Page 4 Wiring Methods There are two possible wiring configurations for connecting to the vehicles power supply. A. Radio stays ON when the ignition is switched OFF Connect the radio’s negative (black) lead to the vehicle chassis, or directly to the battery’s negative terminal. Connect the radio’s positive (red) lead via the 3 Amp fuse to the battery’s positive terminal. Alternatively, the positive lead could be connected at the fuse box at a point that has DC Power continuously available (preferably the battery side of the ignition switch) via the 3 Amp fuse. B. Radio turns OFF with the ignition switch Connect the radio’s negative (black) lead to the vehicle’s chassis, or directly to the battery’s negative terminal. The radios positive (red) lead should connect to an accessory point in the vehicle’s fuse box via the 3 Amp fuse. Antenna information The antenna (not supplied) is of critical importance to maximise your output power and receiver sensitivity. A poorly installed, inferior quality antenna, or one not designed for the correct frequency band, will give poor performance. You should only purchase an antenna designed for the 477MHz frequency band. Antenna installation T o obtain maximum performance from the radio, select a high quality antenna and mount it in a good location. Never press the PTT before connecting an antenna to the radio.
