5 Cleaning and maintenance
• To clean the unit, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water. Don’t use a cleaner or
solvents on the unit; they can damage the case and leak inside, causing permanent
damage.
• Battery contacts may be wiped with a dry lint-free cloth.
• 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.
6 Disposal of the device
At the end of the product lifecycle, you should not throw this product into the
normal household garbage but bring the product to a collection point for the re-
cycling of electrical and electronic equipments. The symbol on the product,
user guide and/or box indicate this.
Some of the product materials can be re-used if you bring them to a recycling
point. By re-using some parts or raw materials from used products you make an important
contribution to the protection of the environment.
Please contact your local authorities in case you need more information on the collection
points in your area.
7 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 conver-
sation. If you want to communicate (transmitting a voice signal) you need to press the
-
button.
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.

If 2 or more users press the - button at the same time the
receiver will receive only the stongest signal and the other signal
(s) will be supressed. Therefore you should only transmit a
signal (press
- button) when the channel is free.
