Binatone 300 Leaflet

Every time a button is pressed (except PTT button), the LCD

Screen back light will illuminate for 4 seconds. 

Your PMR unit has special circuitry designed to extend the

life of your battery. When the unit is not used for 4 seconds,

it will automatically switch into a low power mode.

The Power Saving feature does not affect the PMR’s ability to

receive transmissions. When a signal is detected, it 

automatically returns to full power mode. 

The PMR can detect the battery charge levels. The Battery 

icon will display the battery charge status as follows;

Battery charge at high level.
Battery charge at low level. 

Important: Replace the Batteries. Use only Alkaline 

“AAA” 1.2V batteries.

The Transmission range of the product is dependent on the environment 

terrain where it is being used, the following diagram attempts to guide 

the user on the sort of performance to expect for everyday use.

Range Check

The Transmission range will be affected as shown in the above diagram. 

The transmitting range typical values for different environment conditions 

will be (1) 3 km (2) 1.5 km (3) 750m. It should be remembered that 

these are only guide values as actual achieved distances will be 

dependent on the environment and terrrain.

Range

Do not use any PMR that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes

in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result.

Turn your PMR OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere , unless

it is a type  especially qualified for such use ( for example, Factory Mutual Approved).

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

Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Contact

sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.

Do not place your PMR 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 air  bag  deployment

area and the  air bag inflates,  the  PMR  may  be propelled with great force  and

cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if

conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch 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.

NOTE: Areas  with potent ially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always ,

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your PMR 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.

To clean your PMR, use a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use cleaners or

solvent, which may cause damage that may not be covered by guarantee.
