[. . . ] 1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL Please read carefully through the following information concerning safety and proper use. 2 • • BURNING INJURIES If the cover of the antenna is damaged, do not touch because when an antenna comes in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result when transmitting. Batteries can cause property damage such as burns if conductive material such as jewellery, keys or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. [. . . ] 7 USING A PMR DEVICE To communicate between PMR devices they need to be set all on the same channel and within receiving range (up to max. Since these devices use free frequency bands (channels), all devices in operation share these channels(total 8 channels). If you want to communicate (transmitting a voice signal) you need to press the PTT - button (Push to talk). Once this button pressed, the device will go into transmit mode and you can speak into the microphone. All other PMR devices in range , on the same channel and in standby mode (not transmitting) will hear your message. You need to wait until the other party stops transmitting before you can reply to the message. If 2 or more users press the PTT - button at the same time the receiver will receive only the stongest signal and the other signal (s) will be supressed. Therefore you should only transmit a signal (press PTT - button) when the channel is free .
