PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION
WARNING
• Never apply any DC power to the battery terminals.
• Do not attempt to charge any non-rechargeable batteries.
• Do not attempt to open the unit case.
• No user serviceable parts inside.
• Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
• Do not modify or attempt to adjust the transceiver for any reason.
• Avoid extremes in exposure to water, heat and cold. This transceiver is
weather resistant but not waterproof.
• Do not expose the transceiver to long periods of direct sunlight, nor place the
transceiver close to heating appliances.
• Do not place the transceiver in excessively dusty areas, humid areas, wet
areas, nor on unstable surfaces.
• If smoke is detected coming from the transceiver, immediately switch OFF the
power and remove the batteries from the transceiver. Contact your dealer.
CAUTION
• Use batteries only for the power of the unit, Alkaline or Rechargeable batteries.
• To maintain compliance with the FCC's RF exposure guidelines, hold the
transmitter and antenna at least 2 inches (5 centimeters) from your face and
speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away from the face.
If you wear the handset on your body while using the headset accessory, use
only the manufacturers supplied bell clip for this product and ensure that the
antenna is at least 1/2 inch from your body when transmitting.
• Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachment, could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.

NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATIONS
1. Your FRS Radio uses 22 channels that are shared on a “take turns” basis.
This means other groups may be talking on any of the channels. A common
code of ethics/courtesy is to switch to another vacant channel and not to
attempt to talk over someone who is already using the channel you first
selected.
2. Your FRS Radios have been designed to maximize performance and improve
transmission range in the field. To avoid interference, it is recommended that
you do not use the units closer than 5 feet apart.
3. For best transmission results, always keep your mouth about 2-3 inches from
the Microphone (# 8) and speak slowly and clearly in a normal voice.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Clean your unit with a damp (never wet) cloth. Solvent or detergent should
never be used.
2. Avoid leaving your unit in direct sunlight or in hot, humid or dusty places.
3. Keep your unit away from heating appliances and sources of electrical noise
such as fluorescent lamps or motors.

REVELANT GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS
1. Technical Regulations of Part 15 and 95 of the FCC Rules.
2. Type Acceptance Requirements of Part 2 of the 47CFR Regulations.
CARE AND SAFETY
To assure optimal radio performance and to ensure RF energy exposure is within
the guidelines of the above standards, the following operating procedures should
be observed:
FOR PORTABLE 2-WAY FRS RADIOS
• When transmitting with a portable radio, hold radio in a vertical position with its
microphone 1-2 inches away from your mouth. Keep antenna at least 1 inch
from your head and body.
• If you wear a portable radio on your body, ensure the antenna is at least 1 inch
from your body when transmitting.
ELECTRIOMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY
Most electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if
inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic
compatibility.
• Turn off your radio in any facilities where posted notices instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to
external RF energy.
• Turn off your radio when on board aircraft when instructed to do so. Any use of
the radio must be in accordance with airline regulations or crew instructions.
CAUTION
Damaged Antenna
Do not use any radio with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes in
contact with the skin, a minor burn may result.
Batteries
Do not short circuit exposed terminals of any batteries with any conductive
materials. In doing so, the material may become quite hot and cause property
damage and/or body injury such as burns.

WARNING
Parts Replacement or Substitution
Replacement or substitution of parts other than those recommended by Spectra®
may cause a violation of the technical regulations of part 95 of the FCC Rules, or
violation of Type Acceptance requirements of Part 2 of the FCC Rules.
For Vehicles with an Air Bag
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable radio is placed in
the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled
with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your radio off when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere,
unless it is a type especially qualified for such use. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in body injury or even death.
Batteries
Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact
sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your radio off near
electrical blasting caps or in a “blasting area” or in areas posted:” Turn off 2-way
radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
Note: Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include fuelling areas such as below deck on boats, fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
