• If the unit gets wet, turn it off and remove the batteries immediately. Dry the battery compartment with a soft cloth
to minimize potential water damage. Leave the cover off the battery compartment overnight or until completely
dry. Do not use the unit until completely dry.
5 DISPOSAL OF THE DEVICE
Dispose of the unit and used batteries in an environment friendly manner.
Do not dispose of batteries in a normal household garbage.
6 USING A PMR DEVICE
To communicate between PMR devices they need to be set all on the same channel and within receiving range (up to
max. 3 km in open field). Since these devices use free frequency bands (channels), all devices in operation share these
channels(total 8 channels). Therefore, privacy is not garanteed. Anybody with a PMR set to your channel can overhear
the conversation.
If you want to communicate (transmitting a voice signal) you need to press the
- button (Push to talk). Once this
button pressed, the device will go into transmit mode and you can speak into the microphone. All other PMR devices
in range , on the same channel and in standby mode (not transmitting) will hear your message. You need to wait until
the other party stops transmitting before you can reply to the message. At the end of each transmission the unit will
send a beep. To reply, just press the
- button and speak into the microphone.
