SAFETY INFORMATION Your portable contains a low power transmitter. Then the Push-to-Talk button is pushed it sends out radio frequency signals. The device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50%. In august 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held devices USE only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the transceiver and may violate FCC regulations.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields- RF and Microwave. TO ENSURE THAT YOUR EXPOSURE TO RF ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY IS WITHIN THE FCC ALLOWABLE LIMITS FOR OCCUPATIONAL USE, ALWAYS ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES: • • • • Do not operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may cause damage to the radio as well as cause the RF exposure to exceed the FCC limits.

TRANSCEIVER DETAILS The various controls and features are enumerated and pointed out in the views shown on page 5. ON/OFF/Volume Control-Turning this control in the clockwise direction turns the Unit On. Turning it further in the clockwise direction increases the volume. Channel Selector-This control is used to change the channel number. Squelch Control-This control is used to eliminate speaker noise and reduce battery drain while not receiving a transmission.
Battery- The BPSC1L -1is a rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) type battery. Battery Charging Jack-This jack is used to recharge the battery. The WCSC7 Wall Charger (included with the Radio) will fully charge the battery in approximately 20 hours if either the radio is turned off or the battery is removed from the Unit. Be sure to reinstall the protective plug when the Charger is disconnected. Belt Clip- When not using the belt-clip; install the mounting screws in order to help ensure water resistance.
