Battery Packs: Speaker Microphone: VOX Headset: FNB-V134LIIS-UNI MH-66A4B MH-81A4B Never charge the battery in the hazard areas. Never install/removal the battery in the hazard areas.
Warning! FCC RF Exposure Requirements This Radio has been tested and complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF exposure limits for Occupational Use/Controlled exposure environment. In addition, it complies with the following Standards and Guidelines: FCC 96-326, Guidelines for Evaluating the Environmental Effects of Radio-Frequency Radiation.
Warning! FCC RF Exposure Requirements When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone 2 inches (5 cm) away from your mouth and keep the antenna at least 2 inches (5 cm) away from your head and body. The radio must be used with a maximum operating duty cycle not exceeding 50%, in typical Push-toTalk configurations. DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty cycle).
English Warning! IC RSS General Requirement r Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
French Warning! IC RSS General Requirement r Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée quivalente (p.i.r.e.
Before You Begin Battery Pack Installation and Removal To install the battery pack, align the battery pack to the radio with an offset about 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) from the top edge of battery compartment, then slide the battery pack upward until it locks in place with a “Click.” To remove the battery, turn the radio off and remove any protective cases. Slide the Battery Pack Latch on the bottom of the radio toward the front panel while sliding the battery down about 1/2 inch (1.5 cm).
Battery Charging Before You Begin Remove the Spacer Plate from the nest of the optional CD-58 Desktop Charger, if the Battery Spacer is installed. Insert the DC plug from the optional PA-55 AC Adapter into the DC jack on the rear panel of the optional CD-58 Desktop Charger, and then connect the PA-55 AC Adapter to the AC line outlet.
Before You Begin 5) Perform the battery charging where the ambient temperature range +41 °F to +104 °F (+5 °C to +40 °C). Charge out of this range could cause damage to the battery pack. 6) Battery Pack should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the like. 7) Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Refer to the enclosed instructions for disposal of used batteries.
Before You Begin Belt Clip Installation and Removal To install the Belt Clip: align the Belt Clip to the groove of the Battery pack, then press the Belt Clip downward until it locks in place with a “Click.” To remove the Belt Clip: use a flat head screw driver to press the Belt Clip Tab away from the battery pack to unlock the Belt Clip, then slide the Belt Clip upward to remove it.
