1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Topcom Twintalker 3800. It’s a short range, low powered radio

communication device with a range of maximum 5 Km. It has no running costs other than the

minimal cost of re-charging the batteries.

TheTwintalker operates on 8 channels according to the PMR (Private Mobile Radio)

standard.

2 Intended purpose

It can be used for different professional purposes. For example: support crane operation. It

can be used for recreational purposes. For example: to keep in contact during travelling with

2 or more cars, biking, skiing. It can be used to keep in contact with your children when they

are playing outside, etc...

3 CE Mark

The CE symbol on the unit, user guide and giftbox indicates that the unit complies with the

essential requirements of the R&TTE directive 1995/5/EC.

The Declaration of conformity can be found on: http://www.topcom.net/cedeclarations.php

4 Safety instructions

4.1 General

Please read carefully through the following information concerning safety and proper use.

Make yourself familiar with all functions of the device. Keep this manual in a safe place for

future use.

4.2 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. Exercise care in handling any

charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse or other container

with metal objects.

4.3 Injuries

• Do not place your device in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area.

Air bags inflate with great force. If a PMR is placed in the bag deployment area and the

air bag inflates, the communicator may be propelled with great force and cause serious

injury to the occupants of the vehicle.

• Keep the PMR at least 15 centimetres away from a pacemaker.

• Turn your PMR OFF as soon as interference is taking place with medical equipment.

4.4 Danger of explosion

• Do not replace batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may

occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.

• Turn your PMR off when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in

such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

• Never throw batteries in fire as they may explode.

4.5 Poisoning danger

• Keep batteries away from small children.

4.6 Legal

• In some countries it is prohibited to use your PMR while driving a vehicle. In this case

leave the road before using the device.

• Turn your PMR OFF when on board an aircraft when instructed to do so. Any use of the

PMR must be in accordance with airline regulations or crew instructions.

• Turn your PMR OFF in any facilities where posted notices instruct you to do so.

Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF

energy.

• Replacing or modifying the antenna may affect the PMR radio specifications and violate

the CE regulations. Unauthorised antennas could also damage the radio.

4.7 Notes

• Do not touch the antenna while transmitting, it could affect the range.

• Remove the batteries if the device is not going to be used for a long period.

5 Cleaning and maintenance

• To clean the unit, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water. Don’t use a cleaner or

solvents on the unit; they can damage the case and leak inside, causing permanent

damage.

• Battery contacts may be wiped with a dry lint-free cloth.

• If the unit gets wet, turn it off and remove the batteries immediately. Dry the battery

compartment with a soft cloth to minimize potential water damage. Leave the cover off

the battery compartment overnight or until completely dry. Do not use the unit until

completely dry.

Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always,

clearly marked. They include fuelling areas such as below deck on

boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air

contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders;

and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off

your vehicle engine.

6 Disposal of the device (environment)

At the end of the product lifecycle, you should not throw this product into the

normal household garbage but bring the product to a collection point for the

recycling of electrical and electronic equipments. The symbol on the product,

user guide and/or box indicate this.

Some of the product materials can be re-used if you bring them to a recycling point. By

reusing some parts or raw materials from used products you make an important contribution

to the protection of the environment. Please contact your local authorities in case you need

more information on the collection points in your area.

7 Using a PMR device

To communicate between PMR devices they need to be all set on the same channel and

CTCSS code and within receiving range (up to max. 5 km in open field). Since these devices

use free frequency bands (channels), all devices in operation share these channels(total 8

channels). Therefore, privacy is not garanteed. Anybody with a PMR set to your channel can

overhear the conversation. If you want to communicate (transmitting a voice signal) you

need to press the -button .

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. At the end of each transmission the unit will send a

beep if the Roger Beep is enabled (see chapter 14.10). To reply, just press the -button

and speak into the microphone.

8 Included in the package

• 2 x Twintalker 3800

• 2 x Beltclip

• 2 x Power adapter

• 2 x NiMH (3 x AA) battery pack

• 2 x Earpiece with microphone and PTT button

• 2 x Lan yard

•Userguide

• Card with service address and Hotline

If 2 or more users press the - 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 -

button ) when the channel is free.
