FCC Information

FCC RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR OCCUPATIONAL USE

ONLY

◇ The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with its action in General

Docket 93—62,November 7,1997,has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated equipment. HYT subscribes to the same safety standard for the use of its products. Proper operation of this radio will result in user exposure far below the Occupational Safety and Health Act(OSHA) AND federal Communications

Commission limits.

◇ This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an uncontrolled environment. This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where radio operator muse have the knowledge to control the user’s exposure conditions for satisfying the higher exposure limit allowed for occupational use.

◇ When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone 2 inches (5 cm) away from your mouth. The radio is transmitting when the red LED on the front of the radio is illuminated. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the PTT bar on the radio.

◇ DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time 50% duty cycle).

Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. These are required operating configurations for meeting FCC RF exposure compliance. Failure to observe these restrictions mean violation.

◇ This equipment complies with the FCC RF Exposure Limits for controlled environments.

User Safety Information

READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION

BEFORE USING YOUR HYT PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIO.

◇ Only qualified technicians are allowed to maintain this product.

◇ To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any place where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

When on aircraft, turn off your radio when airline crew instruct you to do so.

◇ When in vehicles with an airbag, do not place a portable radio in the area over an airbag or in the airbag deployment area.

◇ Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas.

◇ To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when you are near electrical blasting caps.

◇ Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn may result.

◇ Do not expose the radio in direct sunlight for a long time nor place it close to a heating source.

◇ When transmitting with a portable radio, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone about 5 centimeters away from your mouth.

◇ If you wear a portable two-way radio on your body, ensure that the antenna is at least 2.5 centimeters from your body when transmitting.

◇ The maximum SAR value is 2.180mW/g.

Battery Information

Battery Charging Information

The battery is not charged by the manufactory. Charge the newly purchased battery or out of use for more than 2 months battery before use. The battery capacity will be optimum only after being charged/discharged for two or three times. When the battery power is lower, please charge it or replace it with a new one.

Notices:

Do not short out the battery terminals or dispose of the battery by fire.

Turn off the radio when charging the battery inside the radio.

Remove the radio and the battery from the charger when charging cycle is over.

Overcharging will shorten the battery life.

Do not continue charging the battery if it is already fully charged. Or the battery life will be shortened.

Store the battery in a place about 25 ℃ . Charging the battery in less than 10 ℃ temperature will cause the electrolyte leakage and damage the battery.

Charging the battery in over 35 ℃ temperature will affect the battery capacity.

Battery Charging

Insert the battery or the radio with battery in the charger, and make sure they connect well.

Charging begins, red LED glows. The battery is fully charged in about 8 hours. If the battery is charged while the radio is turned on, fully charging time will prolong.

5. Transmit: Press and hold PTT, speak into the microphone with normal voice. Keep microphone about 5cm away from your mouth.

6. Receive: Release PTT, the radio returns to receive mode.

Time-out Timer

Time-out Timer is used to prevent one from using the same channel for a long time and to prevent the radio from damage due to continuous transmission.

If the transmission exceeds preset time (it’s set by your dealer), transmission will be stopped and a beep will sound. To stop the beep tone, release PTT. Press PTT again to transmit.

TOT (Time-out Timer) Reset Time

When this feature is disabled, TOT is immediately reset after transmission stops. When enabled, TOT won’t reset until preset time (it’s set by your dealer) elapses, even if transmission has stopped.

TOT Rekey Time

The feature is used to set the duration until transmission is allowed after returning to receive by TOT. When enabled, transmission will be prohibited until preset time elapses

(it’s set by your dealer).

TOT Alert Time

This timer can be set by your dealer from 1 to 255 seconds in 1 second step. When this feature is enabled, the radio will call an alert at the set time. Transmission will be prohibited by TOT after this time.

Battery Save

When there is no activity on the channel and no operation is performed for 10 seconds,

Battery Save feature is turned ON. When a signal is received or an operation is performed, Battery Save feature is turned OFF automatically.

Low Battery Alert

Low Battery Alert alerts you to recharge or replace the battery.

During transmission, when the battery voltage goes below a preset value, the light will flash red. When the alert tone sounds, the radio stops transmitting. Please recharge or replace the battery.

Monitor

Press and hold Monitor key to monitor activities on the current channel. This operation is especially useful for adjusting volume level or receiving a weak signal.

The light will glow green while the Monitor key is held down.

CTCSS & CDCSS

CTCSS/CDCSS allows you to ignore unwanted calls from other parties using the same channel.

When CTCSS/CDCSS is set, the user can only receive the calls on the same channel with same CTCSS/CDCSS.

The dealer can preset CTCSS/CDCSS signaling on certain channels.

Note: Although using CTCSS/CDCSS enables you to avoid hearing unwanted calls, it does not mean your calls will be private.

Channel Scan (This feature can be disabled by your dealer)

Turn channel selector knob to the position “16”, the radio will automatically detect those channels which have been programmed as scan items in channel 1-15 (your dealer can set any channel as scan item or non-scan item). When any activity is detected on one channel, the radio will stop on the active channel for communications.

Priority Channel Scan

Any programmed channel may be set as the priority channel. The radio will detect the priority channel periodically while stopping on a non-priority channel. When there is any activity on the priority channel, the radio will turn to the priority channel for communications.

Scan Revert Channel

When the radio is scanning, press the PTT key, it will transmit in pre-programmed revert channel.

Revert channel can be programmed by your dealer.

Busy Channel Lockout

If the current channel is set by your dealer as “busy channel lockout”, and this channel is being used by other users, press PTT, the radio sounds a beep and will not transmit the signal. To stop the beep, release PTT. When this channel is free, press PTT to transmit.

Troubleshooting Guide

Trouble

No power

Solution

*Battery may be used up. Please recharge or replace the battery.

Power doesn't last long even if fully charged

*Battery life is over, please replace it with a new one.

Can't talk to or hear group members *Make sure you are using the same frequency and same

CTCSS/CDCSS as your group members.

*Your group members may be out of the communication range.

Other voice (non-group members) *Change CTCSS/CDCSS tone. Make sure your group members are present on the channel all change to the same tone.
