RBRC Information

As part of our commitment to

protect the environment and

conserve natural resources,

Uniden voluntarily participates

in an RBRC

®

industry program

to collect and recycle used Ni-MH batteries

within the US.

Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on

Ni-MH battery recycling in your area. (RBRC

®

is

a registered trademark of the Rechargeable

Battery Recycling Corporation.)

MAINTENANCE

To be safe and sure:

•

Never open your radio’s case.

•

Never change or replace anything in your radio

except the batteries.

Care and Safety

To clean the radio, use a soft cloth

dampened with water. Do not use cleaners or

solvents because they can harm the body of

the unit and leak inside, causing permanent

damage. Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean

the battery contacts. Do not submerge the

unit in water. 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 battery compartment cover off overnight

to ensure complete drying. Do not use the

radio until the unit is completely dry.

Your radio might cause TV or radio

interference even when it is operating

properly. To determine whether your radio is

causing the interference, turn it off. If the

interference goes away, your radio is causing

it. Try to eliminate the interference by moving

your radio away from the receiver. If you

cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC

requires that you stop using the radio.

Hazardous Environments

Do not operate the radio in hazardous

environments. Explosion or fire may result.

Do not operate the radio near unshielded

electrical blasting caps.

Under certain conditions, radios can interfere

with blasting operations and may cause an

explosion. Turn your radio OFF to prevent

accidental transmission when in a blasting

area or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way

radio." Construction crews often use remote

control RF devices to set off explosives.

WARNING!

Read this information before

using the radio. In August 1996 the Federal

Communications Commission (FCC) of the

United States with its action in Report and

Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated

safety standard for human exposure to radio

frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by

FCC regulated transmitters.

Those guidelines are consistent with the

safety standard previously set by both U.S.

and international standards bodies. The

design of the radio complies with the FCC

guidelines and these international standards.

Never allow children to operate the radio

without adult supervision and the knowledge

of the following guidelines.

WARNING!

It is up to the user to properly

operate this radio transmitter to insure safe

operation. Please adhere to the following:

Do not use the radio with a damaged

antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into

contact with the skin, a minor burn may result.

Please contact your local dealer for a

replacement antenna.

REGULATORY INFORMATION

This device was evaluated for typical hand-

held (held-to-face) operations with a 1 inch

spacing from the front of the radio. For hand-

operations with the supplied belt-clip

accessory. (All necessary accessories are
