RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating
Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled
environment 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), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT
button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because this radio
generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of
measuring for standards compliance).
Private Talk Position (XTS 4000 Only)
• When placing or receiving a personal message, hold your radio as
you would a wireline/wireless telephone. Speak directly into the
microphone. Use the PTT as in a normal two-way operation.
Two-Way Radio Operation
• 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 inch (2.5 centimeters) away from the nose or lips.
Antenna should be kept away from the eye. Keeping the radio at a
proper distance is important since RF exposures decrease with increasing
distance from the antenna.
