Subject to the exclusions contained to the right, Giant International Ltd. warrants the Motorola branded consumer two-way radios that operate via Family Radio Service or General Mobile Radio Service that it manufactures (“Products”), the Motorola branded or certified accessories sold for use with these Products that it manufactures (“Accessories”) to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal consumer usage for the period(s) outlined below. This limited warranty is a consumer’s exclusive remedy, and applies as follows to new Motorola branded Products and Accessories manufactured by Giant International Ltd., and purchased by consumers in the United States or Canada, which are accompanied by this written warranty:

Who is covered?

This warranty extends only to the first consumer purchaser, and is not transferable.

What will GIANT INTERNATIONAL LTD. do?

GIANT INTERNATIONAL LTD., at its option, will at no charge repair, replace or refund the purchase price of any Products or Accessories that does not conform to this warranty. We may use functionally equivalent reconditioned/ refurbished/ pre-owned or new Products, Accessories or parts.

What Other Limitations Are There?

ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, OTHERWISE THE REPAIR, REPLACEMENT, OR REFUND AS PROVIDED UNDER THIS EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY IS THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF THE CONSUMER, AND IS PROVIDED IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OF IMPLIED. IN NO EVENT SHALL MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC. OR GIANT INTERNATIONAL LTD. BE LIABLE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) FOR DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT OR ACCESSORY, OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, OR LOSS OF REVENUE OR PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF INFORMATION OR OTHER FINANCIAL LOSS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE ABILITY OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCTS OR ACCESSORIES TO THE FULL EXTENT THESE DAMAGES MAY BE DISCLAIMED BY LAW.

Some states and jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, or limitation on the length of an implied warranty, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state or from one jurisdiction to another.

Note: There is a short delay between the time you start talking and when the radio transmits. There is a short delay before the transmission is completed.

Scanning Channels

Use scan to search the 22 channels for transmissions from unknown parties, to find someone in your group who has accidentally changed channels, or to quickly find unused channels for your own use.

There is a priority feature and 2 modes of scanning ( basic and advanced ) to make your search more effective. The basic scan mode uses the channel and code combinations for each of the 22 channels as you have set them ( or with the default code value of 1). The “Advanced Scan” mode will scan all channels for any and all codes, detect any code in use, and use that code value temporarily for that channel.

Priority is given to the “home channel,” that is, the channel (and Interference Eliminator Code) your radio is set to when you start the scan. This means the initial channel (and code setting) is scanned more often than the other 21 channels, and your radio will respond quickly to any activity occurring on the home channel as a priority.

To start Scanning:

 

 

1. Briefly press the

key. The scan

will appear in the display, and the

radio will begin to scroll through the channel and code combinations.

2.When the radio detects channel activity matching the channel and code combination, it stops scrolling and you can hear the transmission.

2.

Press

or

to select the appropriate channel with good

 

reception in your area.

3.

Press

to save the weather channel setting.

Setting the Weather Alert

Your radio can be set to respond to NOAA Weather Radio emergency messages. A special alarm tone sounds an alert and turns on the weather receiver to give you immediate weather and emergency information.

1.

After turning weather reception on, press

twice. On/Off displays.

2.

Press

or

to select On/Off. If you activate Weather Alert and

 

return to two-way mode,

will display.

 

3.

Press

to save the Weather Alert setting.

 

4.

Press

to return to two-way mode.

 

As with two-way radio reception, weather channel reception depends on how close you are to a transmitter and whether you are indoors or outdoors. Because weather channels are transmitted without codes, they may contain static or noise. Weather Alert will not function while actively transmitting or receiving in two-way mode.
