Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions for
Portable Two-Way Radios
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/
controlled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following
procedures:
• Transmit no more than 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-
To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button.
Transmitting 50% of the time or less is important since the radio
generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in
terms of measuring standards compliance).
• Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of the face with
the microphone (and other parts of the radio including the
antenna) at least one to two inches (2.5 to 5 centimeters)
away from the lips. Keeping the radio at a proper distance is
important since RF exposures decrease with distance from the antenna.
