RF Exposure Safety Statement

SAFETY INFORMATION

Your wireless handheld portable transceiver contains a low power transmit-

ter. When the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button is pushed, the transceiver sends

out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communica-

tions Commission adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for

hand-held wireless devices.

This device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50% (this

corresponds to 50% transmission time and 50% reception time).

WARNING: To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines,

this transmitter and its antenna must maintain a separation distance of at

least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your face. Speak in a normal voice, with

the antenna pointed up and away from the face at the required separation

distance.

If you use a headset accessory for this radio, with the radio worn on your

body, use only the STANDARD HORIZON belt clip for this transceiver, and

ensure that the antenna is at least 1 inches (2.5 centimeters) from your body

when transmitting.

Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or

attachments could damage the transmitter, and may violate FCC regulations.

equipment, the STANDARD HORIZON organization is committed to ensur-

ing your enjoyment of this high-performance transceiver, which should pro-

vide you with many years of satisfying communications even in the harshest

of environments.

We appreciate your purchase of the HX270E, and encourage you to read

this manual thoroughly, so as to learn and understand the capabilities of the

HX270E fully.

ABOUT VHF MARINE RADIO

The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156

and 158 MHz with some shore stations available between 161 and 163

MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over distances

that are essentially “line of sight” (VHF signals do not travel well through

objects such as buildings, hills or trees). Actual transmission range de-

pends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power

output of the transmitter. The approximate distance a portable 5W radio

may communicate is about 5 miles in if there are no obstructions (build-

ings, hills etc.) restricting line of sight transmission.

Attention in Case of Use

This transceiver works on frequencies which are not generally permitted.

For frequency allocation, apply for a licence at your local spectrum man-

agement authority. For actual usage con-

tact your dealer or sales shop in order to

get your transceiver adjusted to the allo-

cated frequency range.

3. BATTERY

The FNB-83 is a high performance rechargeable battery providing high ca-

pacity in a compact package.

3.1 BATTERY CHARGING

If the radio has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged

by connecting the NC-88 battery charger (see figure 2 on page 5). If 12V DC

power is available, the optional E-DC-6 or the E-DC-19A DC adapter with

cigarette plug may be used for charging the battery. The NC-88, E-DC-6 and

E-DC-19A will charge a completely discharged FNB-83 battery pack in about

10 hours.

3.2 BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

1. Turn the transceiver off.

2. To remove, open the Battery Pack Latch on the bottom of the trans-

ceiver, then slide the battery downward and out from the transceiver.

3. To install, insert the battery pack into the battery compartment on the

back of the transceiver, then close the Battery Pack Latch until it locks in

place with a “click.”

AC line outlet, then insert the cable plug

into the jack located on the side panel of

the CD-26 Charger Cradle.

3. Insert the transceiver and battery pack into

the CD-26; the antenna jack should be at

the left side when viewing the charger from

the front.

4. If the transceiver and battery pack are in-

serted correctly, the Red indicator on the

CD-26 will glow. A fully-discharged pack will

be charged completely in 10 hours.

Important Notes:

PThe NC-88 is not designed to power the transceiver for operation (re-

ception or transmission).

PDo not leave the charger connected to the transceiver for continuous

periods in excess of 24 hours. Long term overcharging can degrade the

Ni-MH battery pack and significantly shorten its useful life.

PIf using a charger other than the NC-88/CD-26, or if using a battery pack

other than the FNB-83, follow the appropriate instructions provided with

the charger/battery. Contact your Dealer if you have any doubts about

the appropriateness of the particular charger or battery pack you intend

to use.

3.4 FBA-25A Waterproof Alakline Battery Tray

FBA-25A is a battery case that holds six alkaline batteries and is used with the

HX270E transceiver.

When installing batteries, insert the (–) end first, then press in the (+) end so

the battery snaps into place. Always replace all six batteries at the same

time, paying attention to the polarity indicated inside the case.

The FBA-25A must not be used with rechargeable cells. The FBA-

25A does not contain the thermal and over-current protection

circuits (provided in the "FNB" series of Ni-MH Battery Packs) required

when utilizing Ni-Cd and Ni-MH cells.

3.5 BATTERY SAFETY

Battery packs for your transceiver contain Ni-MH batteries. This type of bat-

tery stores a charge powerful enough to be dangerous if misused or abused,

especially when removed from the transceiver. Please observe the follow-

ing precautions:

DO NOT SHORT BATTERY PACK TERMINALS

Shorting the terminals that power to the transceiver can cause sparks, se-

vere overheating, burns, and battery cell damage. If the short is of sufficient

duration, it is possible to melt battery components. Do not place a loose

battery pack on or near metal surfaces or objects such as paper clips, keys,

tools, etc. When the battery pack is installed on the transceiver, the termi-

nals that transfer current to the transceiver are not exposed.

DO NOT INCINERATE

Do not dispose of any battery in a fire or incinerator. The heat of fire may

cause battery cells to explode and/or release dangerous gases.

Caution

Never short-circuit the connection terminals on the bat-

tery or charger !
