Oricom Two Way Radio PMR3000R User Manual

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.  
Information on Safe Operation  
Information on Safe Operation  
Read This Information Before Using Your Oricom Radio.  
Transmit and Receive Procedure  
Transmit and Receive Procedure  
Radio Operation and EME Exposure  
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:  
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and  
violate compliance.  
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.  
Do NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE.” Holding the antenna affects 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.  
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).  
If you wear a radio on your body when transmitting, always fit the radio on the belt clip  
(supplied). Always ensure the radio and it's antenna are at least 2.5 cm from your body  
when transmitting.  
i
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy  
Your Oricom two-way radio complies with Australian Communications Authority  
Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation-Human Exposure) Standard, 2003.

Medical Devices - Pacemakers  
Safety and General Use While Driving  
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum  
separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a  
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by  
and recommendations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  
People with pacemakers should:  
• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 15 cm from their pacemaker when the radio is  
turned ON.  
• Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.  
Check the laws regarding the use of handheld radios whilst driving, and always obey  
them.  
Do not place a portable radio over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags  
inflate with extreme 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  
persons in the vehicle.  
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.  
Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is  
taking place.  
Medical Devices - Hearing Aids  
Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of  
such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to  
discuss alternatives.  
Other Medical Devices  
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device  
to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to  
assist you in obtaining this information.

Channel scan  
By scanning, you can monitor channels and codes for transmissions and lock in on the  
one that interests you. More importantly, you can find someone in your group who has  
accidentally changed channels and is talking during your scan.  
Interference eliminator codes (CTCSS)  
The radio has 38 interference eliminator codes (CTCSS) providing you with a choice of  
channel/code combinations to listen to transmissions using the same CTCSS code on  
the same channel, effectively blocking out unwanted conversations.  
1. To start scanning, briefly press and release the  
button.  
2. If you activate scan while the CTCSS code is set to 0, then the radio will check for  
any activity on each channel, regardless of the CTCSS code in use on that channel.  
3. If you activate scan while the CTCSS code is set at 1 to 38, then the radio will check  
for any activity on each channel, except the CTCSS code 0 in use on that channel.

CTCSS code on which activity was detected.

This unit will only transmit for a maximum 3 seconds in any 60 seconds.  
2. The radio does not support the call tone feature on channels 5 or 35.  
To restore the channel to the scan list, turn the radio off and then on. You cannot remove  
your home channel from the scan list (your home channel is the channel your radio was

Repeater stations can re-transmit your signal over a wider area giving you extended  
range depending on the location, height and availability of the local repeater station. For  
information on the locations of repeater sites in Australia and New Zealand visit our  
website.  
When the Dual Channel Monitor function is activated, the PMR will switch sequentially between the  
standby channel + CTCSS and the Dual Channel + CTCSS. When there is activity on the Dual Channel  
+ CTCSS, the active channel will be displayed for 5 seconds. Within this period, you have the  
possibility to answer the transmission.  
Your radio supports duplex mode on channels 1 - 8. If the repeater channel in your area  
is channel 1, when you are in duplex mode the transmit channel will be channel 31.
