FCC ID: AXI11154620 IC: 10239A-11154620 Warning! FCC RF Exposure Requirements This Radio has been tested and complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF exposure limits for Occupational Use/Controlled exposure environment. In addition, it complies with the following Standards and Guidelines: FCC 96-326, Guidelines for Evaluating the Environmental Effects of Radio-Frequency Radiation.
FCC ID: AXI11154620 IC: 10239A-11154620 Warning! FCC RF Exposure Requirements When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone 2 inches (5 cm) away from your mouth and keep the antenna at least 2 inches (5 cm) away from your head and body. The radio must be used with a maximum operating duty cycle not exceeding 50%, in typical Push-toTalk configurations. DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty cycle).
FCC ID: AXI11154620 IC: 10239A-11154620 Before You Begin Battery Pack Installation and Removal To install the battery pack, align the battery pack to the radio with an offset about 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) from the top edge of battery compartment, then slide the battery pack upward until it locks in place with a “Click.” To remove the battery, turn the radio off and remove any protective cases.
FCC ID: AXI11154620 IC: 10239A-11154620 Before You Begin proper positioning of the battery pack. If charging with the transceiver attached, turn the transceiver off. The antenna jack should be at the left side when viewing the charger from the front. If the battery pack is inserted correctly, the LED indicator will glow red. A fully-discharged battery pack will charge completely in 1.5 - 3.0 hours (depending on the battery pack being charged).
FCC ID: AXI11154620 IC: 10239A-11154620 Before You Begin Belt Clip Installation and Removal To install the Belt Clip: align the Belt Clip to the groove of the Battery pack, then press the Belt Clip downward until it locks in place with a “Click.” To remove the Belt Clip: use a flat head screw driver to press the Belt Clip Tab away from the battery pack to unlock the Belt Clip, then slide the Belt Clip upward to remove it. MIC/SP CAP Installation Install the MIC/SP cap with the supplied screws.

FCC ID: AXI11154620 IC: 10239A-11154620 Preliminary Steps Operation Install a charged battery pack onto the transceiver, as described previously. Screw the supplied antenna onto the Antenna jack. It is not recommended to operate this transceiver without an antenna connected. If you have a Speaker/Mi crophone, we recommend that it not be connected until you are familiar with the basic operation of the EVX-539. Refer to page 11 for more information about Speaker/Microphone usage.
FCC ID: AXI11154620 IC: 10239A-11154620 Operation Rotate the VOL/PWR knob to set the volume level. If no signal is present on the analog channel, press and hold in the SIDE-1 button (under the PTT switch) more than 2 seconds; background noise will now be heard, and you may use this to set the VOL/PWR knob for the desired audio level. Press and hold the SIDE-1 button more than 2 seconds (or press the SIDE-1 button twice) to quiet the noise and resume normal (quiet) monitoring.
FCC ID: AXI11154620 IC: 10239A-11154620 Operation of the Speaker/Microphone on the radio; secure the connector pin using the screws supplied with the Speaker/Microphone. Hold the speaker grille up next to your ear while receiving. To transmit, press the PTT switch on the Speaker/Microphone, just as you would on the main transceiver’s body, and speak into the microphone on a normal voice level. Note 1): Save the original plastic cap and its mounting screws.
