FEDERAL COMMUNICATION COMMISSION REGULATIONS
The FCC has established limits for safe exposure to radio frequency (RF) emissions from mobile
two-way radios. The FCC requires manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with RF exposure limits
before mobile two-way radios can be marketed in the U.S. When two-way radios are approved for
occupational/controlled environment exposure limits, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of, and
exercise control over, their exposure. Awareness and control of RF exposure can be accomplished by
education or training through appropriate means such as information and instructions in user manuals
or safety booklets, or other appropriate means. This user safety booklet includes useful information
about RF exposure and helpful instructions on how to control your RF exposure.
Your two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and international
standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic
energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for
occupational/controlled RF exposure environments at usage factors of up to 10% talk-90% listen. In
terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with FCC exposure guidelines, your radio radiates
measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or
in standby mode.
Your two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part
2 sub-part J
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95.1-1992
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6: Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency
Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
• Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation –
Human Exposure) Standard, 2001
• ANATEL, Brasil Regulatory Authority, Resolution 256 (April 11, 2001). Additional Requirements
for SMR, Cellular and PCS Product Certification.
SAFETY SUMMARY
The following are general safety precautions that are not related to any specific procedures and
therefore do not appear elsewhere in this publication. These are recommended precautions that
personnel must understand and apply during various phases of operation and maintenance.
KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS. Operating personnel must at all times observe all safety
regulations. Do not replace components or make adjustments inside the equipment with the high
voltage supply turned on. Under certain conditions, dangerous potentials may exist even when the
power control is in the OFF position, due to charges retained by capacitors. To avoid casualties,
always remove power and discharge and ground a circuit before touching it.
DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE. Under no circumstances should any person reach into the
equipment enclosure for the purpose of servicing or adjusting the equipment except in the presence of
someone who is capable of rendering aid.
RESUSCITATION. Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with modern
methods of resuscitation.
USE SAFETY APPROVED EQUIPMENT. When cleaners and primers are being applied, approved
explosion-proof lights, blowers, and other equipment shall be used. Insure that firefighting equipment is
readily available and in working order.
GIVE CLEANERS SPECIAL CARE. Keep cleaners in special polyethylene bottles or in safety cans
and in minimum quantities. Discard soiled cleaning cloths into safety cans.
