User's Manual

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 IC/FCC equipment authorization for
this radio could violate IC/ FCC rules.
Note: Use of this radio outside the country where it was intended to be distributed is subject to government
regulations and may be prohibited.
Important: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate this device. Your radio is set up to transmit a regulated signal on an assigned
frequency. It is against the law to alter or adjust the settings inside the radio to exceed those limitations. Any
adjustments to your radio must be made by qualified technicians.
To be safe and sure:
• Never open your radio’s case.
• Never change or replace anything in your radio except the battery.
• Any attempt to change frequencies or output power of the radio invalidates the approval
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
The radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR § 1.1307, 1.1310 and
2.1093
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
C95.1:2005; Canada RSS102 Issue 5 March 2015
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1:2005 Edition
RF Exposure Compliance and Control
Guidelines and Operating Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/ controlled environmental exposure limits,
always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines:
• Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.
• User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.
• Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.
Operating Instructions:
• Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), press the Push-to-Talk (PTT)
key. To receive calls, release the [PTT] key. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio
generates measurable RF energy only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).
• Keep the radio unit at least 2.5 cm away from the face. Keeping the radio at the proper distance is important as
RF exposure decreases with distance from the antenna. The antenna should be kept away from the face and
eyes.
• When worn on the body, always place the radio in an approved holder, holster, case, or body harness or by use
of the correct clip for this product. Use of non-approved accessories may result in exposure levels which exceed
the FCC's occupational/ controlled environmental RF exposure limits.
• Use of non-approved antennas, batteries, and accessories causes the radio to exceed the FCC RF exposure
