This will enable you to keep in touch with other riders and to easily talk with your passenger. The communication system uses General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) radio frequencies. GMRS is a land- mobile radio service available for short-distance two-way communications to facilitate the activities of an adult individual and his or her family members. The radio communication system on your snowmobile has an output power of two watts. Distance performance is dependent on the terrain, weather conditions and the antenna system. This system requires professional installation by an authorized Polaris dealership. Repair and service should also be performed by your dealer. Note: For optimal performance it is important to follow the Set-up Instructions included in this book. Safety and General Information: Read this information before using your radio for safe and efficient operation. Transmit Procedure: Your snowmobile has been equipped with a 2-way radio, meaning it can both transmit and receive radio frequency (RF) signals. To reduce your exposure to the RF signals, it is recommended that you do not transmit more than 50% of the time. By only using the transmission 50% of the time, you will be in compliance with the general population and uncontrolled environment exposure standards. Antenna Information: The supplied antenna meets important product performance specifications and is an integral part of both FCC and Industry Canada compliance. Changing or modifying the antenna in any way could potentially damage the radio and violate FCC and/or Industry Canada regulations. Avoid contact with the antenna when transmitting. This device meets the RF guideline FCC/OET 65 and Canadian health code 6 for mobile devices, which assumes installation provides an antenna distance of at least 20cm (8”) from users and others. General Use Information: Laws regarding the use of radios vary from state to state in the United States, and in Canada. Check the laws in the areas where you ride, and obey them. It is recommended that you give full attention to riding while using your radio. If the riding conditions dictate, pull over to make and receive transmissions. Blasting and Potentially Explosive Areas: Do not use your radio in blasting zones or potentially explosive areas. These areas are generally marked with signs reading “ TURN OFF 2-WAY RADIO”, “BLASTING AREA”, “BLASTING ZONE” or “POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE AREA”. Using your communication systems in these areas can interfere with their operations. 3 Licensing Requirements: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) operators to obtain a license prior to operating GMRS radios. Both form 605 and 159 are required for the license. These forms can be requested from the FCC at the following numbers: For Fax Requests: 1-202-418-0177 Mail Requests 1-800-418-3676 FCC GMRS License Questions 1-888-225-5322 The forms can also be completed online at www.fcc.gov. Modifications to this product by persons not deemed qualified by the manufacturer will void the warranty and may void the user’s FCC license to use this product. No license is required for use in Canada. GMRS Frequency Allocation: It is possible to use a GMRS radio from another manufacturer to communicate with your Polaris communication system. The user manual for the other product can be compared for channel compatibility by using the frequency chart below. For example, the Polaris radio uses channel 1 to transmit at 462.5625 MHz, while some handheld radios may use channel 15 for 462.5625. The following chart shows the signal frequency for transmitting (TX) and receiving (RX) radio frequencies. Channel TX/RX Frequency (MHz) 1 462.5625 2 462.5875 3 462.6125 4 462.6375 5 462.6625 6 462.6875 7 462.7125 8 462.5750 9 462.6250 10 462.6750 11 462.5500 12 462.6000 13 462.6500 14 462.7000 15 462.7250 4 Sea Hero Handle Bar Controls and Display Mode UP and DOWN PTT PTT: Pushing the Press to talk (PTT) button places the transceiver in transmit mode. MODE: Allows you to cycle through the functions of the communication system. The functions in order are as follows: Channel, Code, Front/Rear Volume (F/R), Voice Activation Sensitivity (VOX). After a few seconds of inactivity the mode will revert back to volume. If the MODE button is held down, the receiver goes to monitor mode, which opens up the receiver to anything operating on that channel regardless of the code. This allows the operator to see if anyone is transmitting on the channel before transmitting with codes. UP: This button controls volume up. When you are in a different mode it will allow you to increase the selection. DOWN: This button controls volume down. When you are in a different mode it will allow you to decrease the selection. 5 Communication System Display Under normal operation the channel and the code is displayed. If PTT is pressed, then TX with the channel number is displayed. If mode is pressed, the channel number is display…
