This unit complies with all relevant Australian and New Zealand
approval requirements AS/NZS 4365:2011 including radio
communications (Electromagnetic Radiation Human Exposure)
standard 2003.
When a narrowband radio receives a transmission from an older wideband radio
the speech may sound loud and distorted – simply adjust your radio volume for
the best listening performance. When an older wideband radio receives a signal
from a new narrowband radio the speech may sound quieter - simply adjust your
radio volume for best listening performance. When operating a narrowband radio
or Channel 41 - 80 interference is possible from wideband radios transmitting on
high power or on adjacent frequency.
The issues described above are not a fault of the radio but a consequence of
mixed use of wideband and narrowband radios.

Information on Safe Operation
Read This Information Before Using Your
Oricom Radio.
The operation of your UHF radio in Australia
and New Zealand is subject to conditions
in the following licenses:
In Australia, the ACMA Radio communications
(Citizen Band Radio Stations) and in New
Zealand by MED the General User Radio
License for Citizen Band Radio.
Radio Antenna
Do not use any radio that has a damaged
antenna. If a damaged antenna comes in
contact with the skin, a minor burn may
result.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the radio and
violate compliance. Do NOT change or
modify the antenna.
Do NOT hold the antenna when the radio
is “IN USE.” Holding the antenna reduces
range and may cause bodily harm.
Safety and general use whilst in a
vehicle
Check the State and Federal laws and

Safety Information and Warnings
WARNING
For Vehicles tted with Air Bags
Do not place your radio in the area over
an air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. Air bags inate with great force. If a
radio is placed in the air bag deployment
area and the air bag inflates, the radio
may be propelled with great force and
cause serious injury to the occupants of
the vehicle.
Read all these Safety Warnings before
you install batteries.
• Do not dispose of the batteries in a re
as they may explode.
• Exercise extreme care when handling
batteries in order not to short the
battery with conducting materials such
as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery
or conduction material may overheat
explode and or cause burns.
• Never replace batteries in a potentially
explosive atmosphere (such as where
gas is leaking) as contact sparking
may occur while installing or removing
the batteries and cause a fire or an
explosion.
• Do not modify, cut, disassemble, crush,
bend, puncture, heat or damage the
batteries
.
6
WARNING
• If batteries leak, do not let the battery
liquid touch skin or eyes. If this
happens, immediately ush the affected
areas with water, and seek medical
assistance. Released electrolyte is
corrosive and may cause damage to
the eyes and skin. It may be toxic if
swallowed.
• Do not immerse or expose the batteries
to water or other liquids.
• Never use damaged batteries as they
may explode.
• Remove batteries when they are no
longer able to hold a charge and when
the equipment will not be used for an
extended period of time.
• Dispose of batteries according to local
regulations, never in your household
rubbish.
WARNING:
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by
an incorrect type.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your radio OFF when in any area with
a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks
in such areas could cause an explosion or
re resulting in injury or even death.
Safety Information and Warnings
7
WARNING
NOTE: Areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres are often, but not always
clearly marked. They include fueling
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.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with
blasting operations, turn your radio OFF
near electrical blasting caps or in a
“blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn
off the two way radio.” Obey all signs and
instructions.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your Oricom two-way radio complies with
Australian Communications Authority
Radio communications (Electromagnetic
Radiation-Human Exposure) Standard,
2003.
To assure optimal radio performance
and make sure human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy is
within the guidelines set out in the above
standards always adhere to the following
procedures.
Safety Information and Warnings
8
WARNING
Transmit and Receive Procedure
Your two-way radio contains a transmitter
and a receiver. To control your exposure
and ensure compliance with the general
population/uncontrolled environment
exposure limits, always adhere to the
following procedure:
• Transmit no more than 50% of the time.
• To receive calls, release the PTT button.
• To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk
(PTT) button.
Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is
important because the radio generates
measurable RF energy exposure only
when transmitting (in terms of measuring
standards compliance).
Always hold the radio approximately 5cm
in front of your mouth with the antenna
pointing away from your head.
Radio Operation and EME Exposure
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the radio and
violate compliance.
Do NOT hold the antenna when the radio
is “IN USE.” Holding the antenna reduces
the effective range.
Do not use the radio if the antenna is
damaged. If a damaged antenna makes
contact with your skin, a minor burn can
result.

‡ At the time of production, Channels 61, 62 and 63 are
guard channels and are not available for use.
Channel 5 and 35 (paired for Duplex repeaters) are reserved
as emergency channels and should be used only in an
emergency.
CTCSS and DCS will not operate on channels 5 and 35.
A list of currently authorised channels can be obtained from
the ACMA website in Australia and the MED website in New
Zealand. Channel 11 is a calling channel generally used to
call others and channel 40 is the customary road vehicle
channel.
Once contact is established on the calling channel, both
stations should move to another unused “SIMPLEX” channel
to allow others to use the calling channel.
Channels 22 and 23 are for Telemetry and Telecommand
use, voice communications are not allowed on these
channels by law.
Channel 9 and above are the best choices for general use in
