5. Auxiliary Features
5.1 LCD Screen Back Light
Every time a button is pressed (except PTT button), the LCD
Screen back light will illuminate for 4 seconds.
5.2 Power Saving
Your PMR unit has special circuitry designed to extend the
life of your battery. When the unit is not used for 4 seconds,
it will automatically switch into a low power mode.
The Power Saving feature does not affect the PMR's ability to
receive transmissions. When a signal is detected, it
automatically returns to full power mode.
5.3 Battery Meter Indicator
The PMR can detect the battery charge levels. The Battery
icon will display the battery charge status as follows;
Battery charge at high level.
Battery charge at low level.
Important: Replace the Batteries. Use only Alkaline
"AAA" 1.2V batteries.
6. Effective Range
The Transmission range of the product is dependent on the environment
terrain where it is being used, the following diagram attempts to guide
the user on the sort of performance to expect for everyday use.

Range Check
The Transmission range will be affected as shown in the above diagram.
The transmitting range typical values for different environment conditions
will be (1) 3 km (2) 1.5 km (3) 750m. It should be remembered that
these are only guide values as actual achieved distances will be
dependent on the environment and terrrain.

8. Safety
C AUTIO N
Damaged Antenna
Do not use any PMR that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes
in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if
conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed
terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and
become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly
when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.
WARNING
For Vehicles with an Air Bag
Do not place your PMR in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
Air bags inflate with great force. If a PMR is placed in the air bag deployment
area and the air bag inflates, the PMR may be propelled with great force and
cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your PMR OFF w hen in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere , unless
it is a type especially qualified for such use ( for example, Factory M utual Approved).
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in injury or even d eath.
Batteries
Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact
sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your PMR OFF near
electrical blasting caps or in a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn off the two-
way radio." Obey all signs and instructions.
NOTE: Areas with pot ent iall y explosive atmo spheres a re often, but n ot always ,
clearly marke d. They incl ude fue ling areas such as below deck on boats; fue l or
chemical transfer or sto rag e faci litie s; areas where the air contains chem ica ls or
particl es, such as g rain , dust, or me tal po wders; and any other are a where you
would nor mal ly be adv ised to tur n off your veh icle engine.
