Warning:This manual contains important safety  
and operating information. Please read, understand,  
and follow the instructions in this manual. Failure to  
do so could result in personal injury, death, and/or  
damage to your Olympia P324 radio, accesories  
and/or other property.  
 
!
Caution  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is  
subject to the following two conditions: (1)This device may not cause  
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference  
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.  
Your Olympia radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during  
transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as  
“Occupational Use Only, meaning it must be used only during the  
course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and  
the ways to minimize such hazards.  
This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in  
an uncontrolled environment.  
Important: Your Olympia radio has been tested and complies  
with the FCC RF exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In  
addition, your radio complies with the following Standards and  
Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy  
levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:  
FCC OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C, Edition 01-01, Evaluating  
Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio  
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.  
 
3
American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 2005), IEEE  
Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to  
Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.  
ALWAYS use Olympia authorized accessories (antennas,  
batteries, belt clips, speaker/microphones, etc). Use of  
unauthorized accessories can cause the FCC RF exposure  
compliance requirements to be exceeded.  
American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 2002), IEEE  
Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially  
Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave.  
ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from  
the body when transmitting and only use the Olympia belt-clips,  
listed in this user manual, when attaching the radio to your belt,  
etc., to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are  
not exceeded. To provide the recipients of your transmission  
the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 2 inches (5 cm)  
from your mouth, and slightly off to one side.  
IEEE Standard 1528-2003.  
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is  
within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always  
adhere to the following guidelines:  
DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached,  
as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed  
FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied  
with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically  
authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio.  
The information listed above provides the user with the  
information needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure,  
and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC  
RF exposure limits of this radio.  
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time  
(“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time  
can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be  
exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX indicator”  
light is red. You will cause the radio to transmit by pressing the  
“PTT” switch.  
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility  
During transmissions, your Olympia radio generates RF energy that  
can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems.To avoid  
such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted  
to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to  
electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.

Important  
!
The use of non-Olympia battery packs/chargers may impair  
transceiver performance and invalidate the warranty.  
CAUTION!  
NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is very close  
to, or touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or  
eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver will perform best if the  
microphone is 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) away from the lips and  
the transceiver is vertical.  
Changes or modifications to this transceiver not expressly  
approved by Olympia could void your authority to operate  
this transceiver under FCC regulations.  
NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio  
accessories at high volume levels.  
NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack.  
DO NOT push the PTT key when not actually desiring to transmit.  
DO NOT modify the transceiver for any reason.  
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in  
areas with temperatures below -20° C – +60° C / -5° F – +140° F.  
KEEP the transceiver from the heavy rain, and NEVER immerse it  
in water.  
The transceiver construction is water resistant, not waterproof.

FCC Licensing Information  
Olympia Professional two-way radios operate on radio frequencies  
that are regulated by the Federal Communications Commission  
(FCC). To transmit on these frequencies, you are required to  
have a license issued by the FCC. Application is made available  
on FCC Form 601 and Schedules D, H, and Remittance Form  
159. To obtain these FCC forms, request document 000601  
which includes all forms and instructions. If you wish to have the  
document faxed, mailed or have questions, use the following  
contact information:  
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Olympia,  
may void the users authority granted by the FCC to operate this  
radio and should not be made. To comply with FCC requirements,  
transmitter adjustments should be made only by or under the  
supervision of a person certified as technically qualified to perform  
transmitter maintenance and repairs in the private land mobile and  
fixed services as certified by an organization representative of the  
user of those services.  
Replacement of any transmitter component (crystal,  
semiconductor, etc.) not authorized by the FCC equipment  
authorization for this radio could violate FCC rules.

Talking and listening  
To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the same  
channel and CTCSS\CDCSS codes.  
Use scanning to monitor channels and codes for transmissions  
or to find someone in your group who has accidentally changed  
channels. When priority scan feature is enabled, the priority  
channel will be scanned after every normal channel, regardless of  
whether the priority channel is added into the scan list.  
To talk, press and hold the PTT key. The redTX indicator light  
glows continuously when transmitting.  
To start scanning, briefly press the SCAN key. The scan indicator

will appear.  
For maximum clarity, hold the radio two to three inches away from  
your mouth and speak directly into the microphone. Do not cover  
the microphone while talking.  
When the radio detects channel activity, it stops scanning and you  
can hear the transmission.  
To respond to the transmission, press PTT.  
Transmit power setting  
The radio can transmit at 1 watt or 4 watt. When 1 watt is  
selected, will appear on the display. When this icon is off, the  
radio will transmit with high power. FCC law dictates, you should  
only increase power to 4 watts if your FCC license permits.  
If the scan stops on a channel that you don’t want to listen to,  
briefly press the UP or DOWN button to resume scanning for the  
next active channel.  
To exit the function, press the SCAN key again.  
Press and hold the SCAN button for 2 seconds to switch  
the setting.

The adjustable Squelch allows you to optimize the radios sensitivity.  
It also allows you to increase the sensitivity and receive weaker  
signals.There are 5 sensitivity levels.The squelch level is indicated by

icon and bar icons next to it on the display.  
1. Press MON/FUNC until the current squelch level flashes and  
appears.  
To exit emergency mode, press the PTT button.  
2. Press UP/DOWN to increase or decrease the squelch level.  
3. Press PTT to set or MON/FUNC to continue set up.  
1. The busy channel lockout feature will be disabled during  
emergency mode.  
Level 1 is the most sensitive level, which means the radio can  
receive a very weak signal. While at level 5, the radio can only receive  
stronger signals. In some cases the latter is preferable to prevent  
sensitivity to numerous strong signals in adjacent channels that  
might interfere (intermodulation).This can be especially true in the  
case of an environment with a high density of users.  
2. When the battery is low, the radio can still transmit.  
3. Settings of the emergency mode can be altered by the  
distributor using the configuration software.
