2 Precautions of Charging Equipment

1. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
2. Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, or has been dropped or damaged
in any way.
3. Do not disassemble the charger if it has received a sharp blow, or has been dropped or
damaged in any way.
4. Never alter the AC cord or plug provided with the unit. If the plug will not fit the outlet,

have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. An improper condition can result
in a risk of electric shock.

5. To reduce the risk of damage to the cord or plug, pull the plug rather than the cord when

disconnecting the charger from the AC receptacle.

6. To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting

any maintenance or cleaning.

7. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by

TEKK

may result in a risk of fire,

electric shock, or personal injury.

8. Make sure the cord is located so it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or subjected to

damage or stress.

9. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper

extension cord could result in a risk of fire and/or electric shock. If an extension cord must
be used, make sure that:

•The pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those

on the plug of the charger.

•The extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
•The cord size is 18 AWG for lengths up to 100 feet, and 16 AWG for lengths up to

150feet.

10. Do not replace charger's power cord. If the power cord damages, you must stop using
charger immediately.

3. Charging the Battery

Please use the battery charger designated by TEKK to charge battery. After purchase or
extended storage (more than two months), the first time to charge battery cannot make
battery reach its normal operating capacity. After repeating charge /discharge it two or
three times, the operating capacity will increase to its normal capacity.

4. Please Charge the Radio According to Operation Steps as Follows:

1. Insert power adapter into power supply socket.
2. Insert output terminal of power adapter into DC jack behind the charging kit, now the
charging orange indicator lights about 2 seconds then goes out.
3. Insert the battery or radio equipped with battery into the charging kit.

4. Confirm the battery and charging kit terminal contact reliably, when charging indicator
light turns into red and charging starts.

FCC Statement:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,    there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful    interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is    encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:

—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

—Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

—Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.

—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful
interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note:” Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.”

Compliance with RF Exposure Standards

XM-700 complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:

•

United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR

§§ 1.1307, 1.1310, 2.1091 and 2.1093

•

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic

Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992

•

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment .This equipment should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 2.5cm between the radiator & your body.This transmitter must not
be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter

Your Tekk International Inc. 2-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a

number of national and international standards and guidelines (listed below) for human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE
and ICNIRP exposure limits for general/uncontrolled RF exposure environment at
operating duty factors of up to 50% transmitting and is authorized by the FCC for
occupational use only

In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC

exposure guidelines, your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is
transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Note: The approved batteries supplied with this radio are rated for a 5-5-90 duty factor (5%
talk-5% listen - 90% standby), even though this radio complies with the FCC occupational
RF exposure limits and may operate at duty factors of up to 50% talk.

Operating Instructions:

•

Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push

the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50%
of the time, or less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy
exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).

•

Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of face with the microphone (and the other

parts of the radio, including the antenna) at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from the nose.
Keeping the radio at the proper distance is important because RF exposures decrease
with distance from the antenna. Antenna should be kept away from eyes.

•

When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Tekk International Inc. approved

clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Using approved body-worn
accessories is important because the use of Tekk International Inc. or other
manufacturer’s non-approved accessories may result in exposure levels, which exceed
the FCC’s general/uncontrolled environment RF exposure limits.

•

If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using the radio in the intended

use position in front of the face, then ensure the antenna and the radio are kept at least
2.5 cm (one inch) from the body when transmitting. Keeping the radio at the proper
distance is important because RF exposures decrease with increasing distance from the
antenna.

•

Use only Tekk International Inc.

approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries,

and accessories. Use of non-

manufacturer-name

approved antennas, batteries, and

accessories may exceed the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
