Energy Exposure and Product Safety
The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety
information contained in user guides published prior to January 2008.
RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control
Information, and Operational Instructions for Federal
Communication Commission (FCC) Occupational Use
Requirements
Note: This radio is intended for use in occupational or controlled conditions,
where users have full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise
control over their exposure to meet Federal Communication
Commission (FCC) limits. This radio device is NOT authorized for
general population, consumer, or any other user.
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the RF spectrum to provide
communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses RF
energy or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of
electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but not limited to, sunlight and
X-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of
electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly, can cause biological
damage. Very high level of X-rays, for example, can damage tissues and
genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with
organizations to develop standards for safe exposure to RF energy. These
standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and
the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include
substantial margins of protection.
Before using this radio, read the information in this section which
contains important operating instructions for safe usage and radio
RF energy awareness and control information for compliance with
RF energy exposure limits in applicable national and international
standards.
