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 at-

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

HX370E

Congratulations on your purchase of the HX370E! Whether this is your first

portable marine VHF transceiver, or if you have other STANDARD HORIZON

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 HX370E, and encourage you to read

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

HX370E 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.

ABOUT LMR CHANNELS

The HX370E is capable of PC programming 40 LMR (Land Mobile Ra-

dio) channels by a dealer. The frequency range is 137 to 174MHz which

may be setup for 25kHz (wide) or 12.5kHz (narrow) channel stepping

with CTCSS and DCS signaling. Contact your dealer for further details.

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 contact your dealer or

sales shop in order to get your trans-

ceiver adjusted to the allocated fre-

quency range.

Important Notes:

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

ception or transmission).

HDo 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.

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

other than the FNB-83/FNB-V57IS, 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.

3.5 BATTERY SAFETY

Battery packs for your transceiver contain Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries. This type

of battery stores a charge powerful enough to be dangerous if misused or

abused, especially when removed from the transceiver. Please observe the

following 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.
