CAUTION
To ensure that your expose 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 damaged 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 antenna specically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio.
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). “50% duty cycle” is also ●
applicable to VOX/PTT mode. Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure
compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “LED indicator” lights red.
You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch or VOX function.
ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting and only use ●
the belt-clip which is listed on page 33 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 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one
side.
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 with the FCC RF exposure limits of this
radio.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, your 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.
