I 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. Topaz3 / Legacy subscribes to the same safety standard for the use of its products.

VI GETTING STARTED VI.1 CHARGING THE NIMH BATTERY PACK You will need to charge the battery pack fully before initial use. For best results from your charging cycle, follow these tips: • • • • • • Ensure the ambient temperature is between 41 and 104° F (5 and 40° C) while charging. Temperatures outside this range may not fully charge the battery. Always switch OFF the transceiver equipped with a NiMH battery pack before charging. Using the radio during the charging cycle will hinder correct charging.
VI.3 INSTALLING THE ANTENNA Screw the antenna into the connector on the top of the radio by holding the antenna at its base and turning it clockwise until seated. Do not overtighten. The antenna should never be used to carry your radio, or as a base to clip radio accessories. Misuse of the antenna can cause damage, and reduce your radio’s performance. VI.4 INSTALLING THE BELT CLIP We recommend that the belt clip is installed on the radio.
VII RADIO OPERATION VII.1 POWER ON / TRANSMIT Power on the radio by turning the power / volume control clockwise out of detent. You will hear a confirmation tone on power-up. To check the radio volume, press and hold the monitor button then rotate the control to desired volume level. Use the channel switch to choose the desired channel. Press the monitor button to check the channel for activity. To avoid interrupting another user, make sure the channel is clear before you begin transmitting.
VIII RADIO FUNCTIONS VIII.1 TONE SIGNALING To help block out unwanted calls to your radio, the PL5151 and PL5164 can be programmed by your radio communications Dealer to look for tones. VIII.2 SCAN MODES Scanning is a Dealer programmable feature that allows you to monitor a number of channels. Your radio communications Dealer will help you define a scanning mode and your channel "scan list". Once the scan list has been established, initiate scan by pressing the SCAN button.
VIII.11 TX DELAY The TX will remain active for approximately 180 seconds even though P-T-T button is released when using CTCSS tones. This eliminates squelch tail by sending CTCSS turn-off code (No Tone TX). VIII.12 TIME-OUT-TIMER (TOT) The purpose of the time-out-timer is to prevent any single person from using a channel for an extended period. The time-out-time can be programmed from 10 seconds to 990 seconds by your radio Dealer. When active the TOT icon will show in the display. VIII.
