Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
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.
The design of your MICOM-3TS-RDP two-way radio complies with the FCC guidelines and these
standards:
•
American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992)
•
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements NCRP-1986)
•
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNRP-1986).
To assure optimal radio performance and to ensure that exposure to RF energy is within the
guidelines in the above standards, install antennas correctly, following recommended installation
procedures.
Transmit only when people are 1 to 3 feet away from the properly installed, antenna; distance
guidelines for different power levels are:
Rated power of radio Distance of people from transmitting antenna
15 W or less 1 Foot
16 to 50 W 2 Feet
Over 50 W 3 Feet
Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions for
Mobile Two-Way Radios Installed in Vehicles
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment
exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures:
•
To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button; to receive, release the PTT button.
Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least 7 feet from a properly installed,
externally-mounted antenna.
•
Install mobile antennas at the center of the roof or the center of the trunk deck per specific
guidelines and instructions in the Radio Installation Manual. These mobile antenna
installation guidelines are limited to metal body vehicles.
Use only the supplied antenna or an approved replacement antenna
. Use of non-approved
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio and may violate FCC
regulations.
